RNDU6000 ULTRA - stay on 6.10.3 or update to 6.10.6
My legacy RNDU6000 Ultra is currently running 6.10.3. Aside from my possible memory issues (another post), are there any compelling reasons to upgrade to 6.10.6? Any compelling reasons to stay on 6.10.3?
I don't do anything exotic, it's just there to serve as network storage and to serve up music.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts,
Dana

FWIW, the current release is now 6.10.7... Personally I am a bit cautious on 6.10.7 at this point.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this. Generally I will keep up (after waiting a bit to see if any issues are posted in the forum on new firmware). Others stick with the long-term-stable release until that changes.
You should probably review the release notes for the intermediate releases

Not sure if the bug fixes apply to you or not. All of these releases also have security fixes (unfortunately the underlying security issues aren't identified).
Further research shows that 6.10.6 might solve the antivirus out of date / failure to update issue. Updated this morning to 6.10.6 and the antivirus definitions updated.
