I think you just said what I said in a different way. :rofl:

If I may add, maybe that's why Synology got so popular so fast and even their legacy devices hold value like crazy.

It boils down to money. Most enterprise won't want to mess with a hack job but rather get one that work. If you want the latest and greatest features you have to upgrade your hardware mentality.

If they keep on making the old better, who's gonna wanna buy new hardware? LOL

I wonder if Netgear has any plans to officially catch up 4.2.x boxes to a 6.x release. Seems a weird fork that happened with Intel based hardware... and clearly it is both possible and desirable to do this, or we wouldn't see so many in the community continuing to try and make it happen...

Cool thanks! Gotta try this out next week after I get all my files moved out. Hopefully it fixes all my issues that I have with 4.2

Yes, they do. See http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=161&t=77780

You could install the 6.1.x image from the other thread then after the necessary factory default (either triggered as a result of installing the Prep add-on before the firmware update or manually via the boot menu) use the Dashboard to upgrade to 6.2.0.

If you prefer you could use this one to go direct to 6.2.0 beta.
