Definitely improving as I move things off the NAS. I do think the dev team’s idea that proofs should never be over 5 seconds is a bit of a fantasy as your farm grows… spinny rust hard drives don’t always like to play nice, especially when you have vast numbers of them in use.
One thing to note is that intense copying of files will affect your proof times. I’m not sure how to solve this if you want the drive with a bunch of plots to stay online while you are filling it… if you are willing to keep the drive offline until it is full, then no issues.
