What is the latest BIOS for 628X?

Knowing Netgear has discontinued ReadyNAS products, I would like to make sure mine is at least up to the current version before it becomes impossible to update. 

 

Here is mine: 

--------------------------------

/sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date
::::::::::::::
01/25/2017
::::::::::::::
/sys/class/dmi/id/bios_version
::::::::::::::
RN528v30

---------------------------------

It says here it RN528. Curious if 628x shares the same BIOS with 528. 

 

I am planning to get a riser so I can connect a video card. I would like to see what is in there. Has anyone done it? Is it completely locked? I have seen people find RN516 is basically locked, not much to fiddle with. 

 

Thanks MODs/Admins

      Since Netgear has never made updates available, it's basically already impossible to update.
