NAS slow in the Morning

Dear Community,

I have slow response via smb from nas at morning approx 9:00 am to 11:00 am.

Please suggest any solution

NAS model and firmware?

Is the NAS (re) booted in the morning?

What exactly is slow?

Did you look in the logs to see what is going on?

Maybe it just needs a cup of coffee to wake up and get going

You must have some extra processes going in the morning at that time like a backup, snapshots, indexing, etc. And what other network traffic might be going on at that time too or what else is your computer doing? Lots of possible reasons. Understand that a 1Gbps network connection does not guarantee 1 Gbps speeds. Network speed is dependent on what the disks are doing on both ends, what the processors on both ends are doing, etc.

And please describe what is responding slowly…

Could you enable the access log in QuLog Center and check the access activity between 9:00 and 11:00 AM? You may refer to the FAQ below. Also, are there other users accessing the NAS during that time? Thanks!

How about a bit more information? Can you answer the question about is it already running or is it started fresh every morning? Do the logs show what is running? What maintenance do you have scheduled? What is the drive configuration? Is it running drive tests, raid scrubbing etc? What are you using to say “slow response via smb”? What happens at 11 that is faster?
