Running latest debian on one of my NSA325 for many years but there is one thing that now really becomes a problem: USB3 performance with NTFS drive.
Copy of large files to/from external HDD with NTFS format via network (SMB) is painfully slow with ~8 MB/s.
With the internal disks (ext4) I achieve much better speed (read ~70MB/s, write ~50MB/s).
So NTFS is the bottleneck. But with stock F/W from Zyxel the transfer speed to an external HDD with NTFS file format is the same as to the internal disks. Zyxel even recommend NTFS as file format for external drives.
How to find out what cost so much performance and tweak it?
