Let me start by saying I know enough about linux to spell it. I have setup several freenas servers for various things including vmware, recording capture servers etc. I have a unique problem however with my home setup for my media.
I have 3 storage servers:
dell r610, 6-1tb sas 7.2k drives in a raid 5 - os runs on sony 8gb usb key - NAS1
dell r610, 6-1tb sas 7.2k drives in a raid 5- os runs on sony 8gb usb key - NAS2
dell t620, 5-2tb sas 7.2k drives in a raid 5 - os runs on sandisk 8gb usb key - NAS3
My user interface, (desktop source) is a 2012 server box running Plex on a VMware host.
I have installed freenas 9.3 on all 3 server and done the following:
I was in the process of doing some redesign of my setup and required moving data around and redoing hardware for better use of resources.
I setup NAS1 and copied 1.7TB of data over. Sustained 85mb+ dataspeed over the network.
I setup NAS2 and copied 2.4TB of data over. Sustained 85mb+ dataspeed over the network.
I setup NAS3 and started to copy data from NAS1 to NAS3, dtat starts to go and within 90 secs- 120 secs the data transfer rate starts to drop and falls all the way to zero. I get prompted with a interrupt action (error 0x8007003B) and have to try again or skip. Once these data transfer issues happen any action related to the NAS3 mapped drive acts unresponsive with typical windows fashion.
NAS1 and NAS2 work flawless in any scenario i can throw at them. NAS3 fails at every scenario. The only difference is its built on a diff set of hardware. and the USB key is a diff brand.
ANY suggestions? I have been banging my head for a day and no resolve.
Thanks for listening to my insanity

I have installed freenas 9.3 on all 3 server and done the following:
- Added the volume on each server.
- changed the permissions allow write access for all.
- Created a CIFS share and allowed guest access for each.
- Map each NAS to the 2012 server.
