I don't believe RAIDiator supports regular background scrubbing.

Business x86 ReadyNas (not Pioneer) can have disk scrubbing scheduled.

Is there any intension to provide RAID 6 to the NVX?

I doubt it. It'd be nice, but on a 4-bay ReadyNas NetGear probably reckons X-RAID2 single-redundancy or RAID-5 is adequate.

It would seem to me that Netgear should at least consider RAID 6 for the NVX in order to keep it in line with the competition

Perhaps. I guess it is something they could consider, but they probably already have considered it. Considering the NVX has been out quite a while now, I doubt it'll get RAID-6 or X-RAID2 dual-redundancy support as it hasn't already.

it would seem that the only Netgear solution would be to go for the ReadyNAS Pro (which is seriously expensive and I just don't need the additional facilities in the Pro).

There is also the 3200 and 4200 but they are noisier and more expensive. The Pro does have two extra drive bays (useful for expansion) is faster (has faster CPU), and has an extra memory slot. It is worth considering imo.
