Sadly got that one kinda spoiled and knew

Haha, I guess that was too easy.

I can’t tell you anything about it you just have to play it.

Listen to this advice if the data is important to you. Also probably don’t do anything else to the card just in case you would make it worse.

Aren’t most x86 executables being built now still favoring compatibility to performance? I think I’ve read that just targeting the current gen CPUs while compiling can bring up to 20% improvements.

“Configure port forwarding” covers pretty much all of the steps. I don’t think that it would be any less secure than quickconnect through a relay, but if security is a priority, then look into setting up a VPN to your network instead.

You say you’re using QuickConnect, do you know if you’re getting a direct connection to your NAS or one through QuickConnect relay service? Maybe try opening the required ports and checking again.
