Been trying to transfer a folder of videos from my Mac to my Qnap NAS, something I've done hundreds of times before without issue over my Gigabit wired network, but for some reason now a few gigabytes into the transfer the NAS beeps at me and transfer times out.
Only thing I can think of is that I installed a second 4TB HDD about 2 months ago, but disk health is good and I've been transferring files successfully since then.
Has anybody else had this happen to them and how did you fix it?

"Beep" doesn't really narrow it down..does it reboot? anything in the logs?

It beeps, but all lights (network, HDDs etc) seem to stay on. No red error lights. I wouldn’t know where to find logs?

The logs would be in the Webgui.
At least events that cause a "beep" should be in there

Ok thanks I found some logs. It says “[Power] System started.” Every time the beep happened. So does that mean it’s rebooting for some reason? Why would a simple SMB file transfer be causing this??

Good question...not sure
If it was a power issue..a starting HDD would draw more than a seeking/writing/reading one.. I think
What is the firmware installed?

It's on 4.3.6.1750 (2021/07/30). Wonder if there's a more recent one available; I don't tend to keep up with firmware updates becuase I know my model (the TS-231) is kind of old/outdated now.
