    Hello XAffi,

     

    Yes, according to one of the higher tier of support team it should work.

I use Icy Box Raid expansion units

 

What happened is that in 6.4  (and in all firmwares) the drive is mounted via a start up script  when the Readynas starts up.  What happeneed in 6.5 was that the external drive needed more time to be recocognised, due to the size of the drive, >6Tb in general,  so moving a line of code to the end of the start up script was required.  This is now I believe the deafault situation in 6.5.1 and "higher"
