RN516 and OS 6 POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to agree with the OP: My RN516 loaded up with WD Red Pro's has been acting up since day one, while the Ready NAS Pro 6 Plus just hums away with no complaints. The 6.2.2 update put the RN516 into a seizure, which magically cured itself after a power outage and a few mins on the UPS.

These new OS6 ReadyNAS simply aren't that reliable. I haven't had to touch my older ReadyNAS since it was installed in 2011. I haven't been able to use my RN516 since it was installed in Aug of 2014.

I'm doing a factory reset now in hopes of exorcising the gremlins.
