WhatвЂ™s more, IвЂ™ve noticed that when the drive starts acting up вЂ“ giving errors that it didnвЂ™t before, for instance вЂ“ it means that I need to upgrade firmware, which is annoying. For me, all of my video data is on this drive and it is sealed from the internet therefore, network security issues are minimal. Folks like us typically donвЂ™t do OS or hardware updates as often as regular consumers, because once a system works, changing it is ill advised. While I can understand wanting to have software be future-proofed for upcoming changes, these are expensive units that are usually used by folks who have actual work to do. IвЂ™m on an EX4100, and the thing that keeps happening for me is that I cannot dupe or copy/paste files using SMB. Simply stating on an update changlog that AFP is being removed, without warning users of the ramifications of doing so, is not enough. It would have been nice is WD would have warned it was turning of AFP well in-advance, or built some sort of tool to facilitate the transition. You canвЂ™t run search queries for these, as far as IвЂ™m aware, so I have no idea how I will automate a name change for this. There might be a better file manager out that what would bypass these issues, but IвЂ™ve also tried Transmit 5, with similar results (if not worse).ДЄnother issue I encountered, which will be more difficult to resolve, is that there are quite a lot of files and folders with spaces on the end of them, which causes the same scrambling to occur on SMB. ItвЂ™s not made for searching through 10TBвЂ™s of data from millions of files. It times out after a few seconds and is generally quite inconsistent and it often threw up errors. This is an imperfect solution though, as IвЂ™m struggling to get it to search the entire drive. I then used the native renaming feature on the Forklift 3 to change the character to a вЂ-вЂ™.

Using a file manager (Folklift 3) I ran a search query for вЂ:вЂ™ which is how /'s are displayed via FTP. In my case I know the main character causing the issues are вЂ/вЂ™ and вЂвЂ™. IвЂ™ve managed to change a bunch of file names by connecting to the server via FTP.
