When transferring files from my NAS to my computer, I get good speeds except for very small files. I'm using a 10Gbit connection. When I'm running AC Odessey however, it takes forever to load the world for the first time and the game sometime freezes for a bit to load in more. I'm connected to an ISCSI target as Ubisoft Connect (formerly Uplay) doesn't like SMB. SMB seems to work fine as DOOM on Steam loads quickly (I get around 2Gbps in task manager). Specs NAS: Synology DS1817 with 5X8TB HDDs (SHR1) and 2X240GB SSDs for R/W cache. I would love to know ff there's something I've missed as it's tedious to move games back and fourth between my NAS and my SSD for the games that require ISCSI. Forgive any roockie mistakes as I'm still very new to NAS and networking in general.

Thanks for the response. I will have all crucial files stores in the cloud, but I don't have 8TB free anywhere to store files in the meantime. Could I put just a single, empty drive in the array first, copy the files from one of my existing HDDs to that and then expand the array with that drive without losing the files copied over to the new drive/array? Another question, is there any downside for me going with JBOD if I can backup everything (at least verything important) to the cloud?

The drives are formatted in NTFS.

Quiestion in title. I'm looking at getting my first NAS. I have two nearly full 8TB drives in my case. Since it's getting crowded I'm thinking og getting a 4-bay NAS for expansion and easy network access. I have the ability to backup everything in the cloud, so redundancy isn't crucial. So can I buy a NAS (specifically looking at the Synology DS418j), insert my two drives, set it up as JBOD and be good to go? I guess the other option is to buy an extra drive right away, create the JBOD with just that one, copy over files from one of my existing drives, then add/format that, then do the same with my second drive. This just seems very tedious. I'm completly new to NAS and have been trying to serarch for this, so forgive me if this is already answered lot's of times

Final update. The problem turned out to be the RAM. It only works in 2400MHz or lower with the x570 Chipset, in other chpisets it works fine in 2666MHz.

Another update here, I don't know if this is interesting to anyone but me, but here goes: I have tested RAM, SDD and GPU in a friendss system, and I have tested that friend's in my case, just to rule out the power supply. All worked fine. At last I sent in the entire computer to the retailer to have them figure it out (they've been really helpful all the time). Got a response from the retailer sying it looks to be the RAM that's causing the issue. It seems the memory works in my friends system but makes mine unstable. The memory is HyperX Fury 2666MHz so it should work. They'll test the memory in some other systems to be sure. I guess it might be time for a memory upgrade :P

A little update, the technician currently working with the motherboard and CPU said that they were fine. I will try and test my GPU, RAM and M.2 SSD in a friend's system. Other than that I guess it could only be a faulty PSU (it's a EVGA Supernova 850 G2), any ideas if that's likely?

I have tried all the above. I got the store to send me a compatible Athlon CPU which wouldn't even POST. I talked to the store and have sent them back the motherboard and CPU. It seems like it's the motherboard. I'll let you know the verdict ?

Hmm, I'm still not sure where to find it. I've attached screenshots of the boot and CSM menus:

I'm not quite sure how to do this. I can find a CSM setting (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I think when I choose the boot manager (shown in the attached picture) it supports legacy, but I don't know a lot about this so I might be wrong.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, as stated in the post, I have updated the BIOS. I am unable to boot to the old installations (I have two drives with separate windows installs on it). I read somewhere that if you change your motherboard then you won't be able to boot from an old install and must install windows from scratch. Is this true? When I choose to boot from Windows boot manager, I see the option to choose which install, but quickly it goes to a BSOD. I have tried with 1, 2 and 4 ram sticks in different slots. No difference.

I just finished upgrading my old computer (CPU or mobo died) to a new Ryzen system. Problem: Everytime I boot from USB to install Windows I get a BSOD. Somtimes it's right away, somtimes I get the install menu for like 15s before the BSOD. I have attached a dump which shows the different error codes I am getting on the BSODs. Main specs: Asrock x570 Taichi AMD Ryzen 3900X Hyper X Fury 4X8GB DDR4 @2666MHz Gigabyte GTX 1080Ti All the components worked on the previous system (Asus X99-A with 5820K). With that system I got a BSOD about a week ago, restarted the machine and it wouldnt post. It showed postcode 00 and the fans were turning, but no ouptput from the graphics card. I therefore assumed that the CPU and/or the MOBO was dead. I had been running the CPU @4.4GHz for four years, so I guess that might have shortened the lifespan. Now with the same system except new CPU and MOBO I can enter the BIOS (updated it too, just in case), see all my devices (the RAM somtimes doesn't show up on the main page, but I can see details on the other BIOS tabs) and everything seems to work except install windows. Any suggestions? Let me know if you need more information.
