Finally I have a solution to the problem I posted earlier that our cyber security group will approve. Waiting on final approval by the department that needs the setup to purchase it but it will be two RS818+ setup to mirror each other on a private network which will be behind a firewall from out corporate network. We will then have one machine on the corporate side that is allowed through the firewall to copy data back to the corporate network. The main reasoning for this is the private network contains vendor computers with imaging equipment that is not updated and can't run on the latest version of Windows. Some of the machines still run Windows 2000 and XP. Going to use Synology Cloud Sync software but locally only to do real time one direction sync between the business network and private network.

This weekend has been a nightmare of dealing with my FreeNAS setup. I never had a problem with my older MacBook Pro, but since it died I had to switch to my other MacBook until I get a new desktop. Being that this can't store my entire iTunes library I made a share in FreeNAS with the iTunes folder in it. Trying to copy to it and other shares kept hitting a Finder error and the transfer would halt and abort. Grabbed my work laptop to test copy a 3GB file which went flawlessly. Once I got everything sorted and working for the most part, iTunes kept forgetting the location of thousands of files and reorganizing them wrong within the subfolders. Ending up tearing apart my old MacBook for the hard drive, copied it to an external, and running my library off of it for the time being. Terminal is telling me its running the connection on SMB 3.02 which should be fine (maybe SMB2 would be better since it's a stateful protocol?), and Apple doesn't even recommend running AFP anymore; haven't tried NFS but everywhere I read says SMB should work perfectly fine and better. Wonder if its a macOS Mojave bug since High Sierra never gave me the copy issues and my work laptop running Windows 10 (I think 1709) is fine as well.

I actually didn't think of that; thanks! I do have Boot Camp so I'll give that a try (when I have the time for a year of Windows Update). Everything is running on Wi-Fi - menu bar reporting 1000+Mbps on 802.11ac from the MacBook to my Linksys WRT1900ACS with media prioritization. I'll try turning off the prioritization too since that gave me a grief a while back, too.

Well it isn't a hardware issue. Boot Camp Windows 10 copied a 1GB file fine but macOS still errors out. Even restarted the ESXi host and FreeNAS VM for good measure but that made no difference.

Hmmmmm. $800 for a 16TB NAS (drives included). Anyone have experience with Buffalo?

No experience with Buffalo, though, sorry.

Interesting, I submitted a support ticket with Synology and included the log files (described as "speeding up a response") and it's now been 48 hours with no response...
They moved their support forums to an awful system that is basically unusable, and now they are just not replying to support requests?
This is not good.
