Synology NAS very, very slow. Drives dying?
Hi there. I have a Synology DS413 as my primary NAS, and a DS211j as my backup NAS. It's supposed to backup from the DS413 to the DS211j daily, but my log says it's been failing recently. I tried logging into the DS211j, but it's very, very slow. It takes a long time for the OS to load, and when I try to load apps sometimes it fails. However, the Storage Manager says the drives are fine.
It's a backup NAS, so I can stand to lose the data. (I already have a separate local backup but would want another backup of my primary NAS, so I'd backup the primary NAS again before fiddling with the backup NAS.) How should I troubleshoot? Current main drive has 0.5 TB free out of 5.5 TB. Should I just try getting a new drive? Or is the 211j just too old? Get a 220j or something?
