SPOILER: Switch from SHR to RAID... In this in performance review, I go through the process of switching my setup from SHR to RAID to let you know how much faster a vanilla RAID 6 setup is compared to the recommended system default of SHR.
RESULTS
For transferring 35GB of data.
Synology NAS SHR2 Encrypted Volume: 25 minutes
Synology NAS RAID6 Unencrypted Volume: 5 and half minutes.
QNAP NAS RAID6 Encrypted Volume: 2 minutes and 11 seconds.
Unfortunately I didn't get round to testing RAID6 Encrypted performance on a Synology, but just a word of warning, please make sure you choose wisely when setting up your NAS, as once you go with the system default of SHR, you're stuck with it. There's no way to migrate it over to RAID. SHR does give you extra flexibility when adding different sized drives, but in my experience it is very slow. For maximum performance of course, go for a QNAP instead.

What do you do when things go wrong? In this guide we take you through the tense moment you find bad sectors on your SSD and you realise that you need to replace your drive. Luckily we had a NAS which supports hot swapping - otherwise we would have had to remove the SSD cache, then setup a new one - relatively simple workaround, but none-the-less... In this guide we repair our SSD cache without a system shutdown, to show you how it's done.

All you need is a rubber glove and a freezer! Simply place the lens in the freezer for 12 minutes. Whilst wearing the rubber glove cup the lens with both hands and twist around the palm of your hand. After a few seconds it'll start to displace.
So glad this method worked as I was on the verge of smashing my B+W XS-Pro Clear 007 Filter with a pair of appliers, I actually managed to get the filter off!
