I have a Synology 1517+, 16gig RAM, 17TB volume1 (and only one volume on the system), two SSD Cache cards that are each 2TB each and doing reads only. When I play a movie the synology server goes right to 99% utilization. I have tried different movies and still get the same out come. If I start a second movie then that movie starts buffering every 5 to 10 seconds. “Top” shows the following:

Does anyone have any thoughts?
