I have a RAID 5 system using the Rosewill RSV-S5 Inside are 5 seagate 1.5 TB hard drives.
This worked great for a while. No problems. I am running it in RAID 5
The problem that I am starting to have, is it becomes so slow, I can't even stream a movie. It will play for like 20 sec, and then start to buffer. (with VLC) It will stutter and stall. Even trying to access regular files will be slow. What is wrong? I listen to it, and I only hear the normal hard drive scratching sounds.
 
edit: didn't realize it was a NAS...

yeah it sounds like one of the disks has failed, how you determine which, swap it out, and rebuild the array... well your at the mercy of Rosewill's software

good luck...
