Difficulty in setting up ?
The annoying thing for me is that the price of like an 1822+ or whatever the newer one is is hard to justify when the 1812+ works as well as it does, just so slowly. The slims have a better CPU, but still show as having more limited I/O, so they're in a similar boat, and I lose the ability to keep a big HDD or two in there to back everything up.

Any tools you recommend for debugging? I know hdparm is on there, but not sure what else the box has. Oddly, I'm more familiar with the internals than most - I've modified mine to exclude HDDs from the system partition so that they'll spin down(!!), and have even spent time modifying the Synology init scripts (but largely abandoned that efforts for fear DSM upgrades would almost certainly overwrite them). I'm also fortunate enough to have (added) a second gig of RAM to mine
Cheers!

I would also test without any scripts. Synology knows what they are doing around making a NAS; confirm generic works first.
Open up task manager / activity manager / whatever it is in Syno-OS, and look at the tasks and connections (SMB, etc.). Make sure nothing is happening. Transfer a file over GigE to the NAS, just one, ISO format, and see how long it takes going to a HDD.
A modern HDD can easily sustain 100MB/s throughout. Sure, a bit of up and down is fine, but overall, 100MB/s should be the benchmark.
I need to buy a 6 bay intel NAS before the end of the year, mostly for plex . Did I miss all the sales ?
Any helpful information would be appreciated
Thank you very much
