3 drive failures w/in 10 days of 4.2.22 upgrade? #19570015

I have just rather belatedly updated my Ultra 6 to 4.2.22 and the device failed to reboot, instead just hanging with the blue light on and ReadyNAS showing on the display.

Thumbs up for Netgear, not so sure about Seagate as I seem to be reading alot about drive failures of late.
