Choppy video when accessing NAS after new drive installs

Grepawking · Mar 3, 2014

I just upgraded my Zyxel NSA320 to dual 4TB drives (WD Red - I spoke to tech support & they said they work with latest firmware - which I have), in RAID 1. The upgrade was successful with no issues that were noticeable. Sometimes while coping files to the device and I am getting system lag, distorted video playback and "digitized" audio sounds on the video.

The system I'm running is a i7 3370k, SSD, 32Gb RAM so I don't think it is the workstation.

I am also getting slower than normal speeds on transfer.

Does anyone know of anything I can test or check to see what might be causing this issue?

Are you sure he didn't mean 'the latest firmware' on the REDS?
Did you use the smart unload utility to change when the drive sleeps/parks?

And btw, the 4tb reds are not on the compatibility list (which is probably why you called them)

popatim :

I did mean firmware update of the 320. I asked Zyxel support if the device would support these drives and they said it would with this new firmware (4.62).

This issues seems to be more of a problem when I use Windows Explorer for copy and not when I FTP the files over. Either way the NAS isn't running nearly as fast as it was, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 the speed.
