Dropouts From Server

Greetings all.  I am having  problems with dropouts during music playback from my server.  I recently lost one of my RAID drives and had to replace the entire NAS server, as well as the dead drive.  I was using a WD MyCloud Ex2 as the server, and for several years had no dropout problems.  I replaced the MyCloud with an updated model MyCloud Ex2 Ultra.  I rebuilt the new drive from the surviving drive, which passed all diagnostic testing  (the rebuild was a twelve hour exercise) and put the new server in line.  Now, often I am experiencing program dropouts.  The PC I am using is an Acer Aspire.  The processor is an Intel Core I7.  I had no real problems before the server failure.  I am controlling everything through Foobar2000.  Any thoughts or suggestions as to the source of the dropouts would be very appreciated.

Why did you have to replace the entire NAS due to the failure of a single drive?  The whole point of a RAID configuration is that you should only have to replace the defective drive, not the whole unit.

Sounds like there is a problem with the new NAS -- perhaps a configuration issue that is different than the old NAS, or even that the new NAS has a defective component.
