It was a dog to get going there was some glue type garbage between the SODIMM and the socket which gave me "corrupt root" it required a firmware update and many resets and finally..... It worked ! ...

ToggleSSH deactivates SSH for both tech support and the user or turns it on for tech support. It has been known to be problematic at times re-enabling SSH access using EnableRootSSH after using ToggleSSH.
Also if you lose access to Frontview you can't re-enable SSH access. What good is having SSH disabled when you need to use it to fix a problem so you can use Frontview again. You don't need to use an uncommon port for SSH. If you don't expose port 22 on the NAS to the internet (it won't be unless you configure it to be in your router) then someone would need to be on your local network to even be able to attempt to hack into your NAS using SSH.
