Downgrading from OS6 to 4.x
well, can someone advise if I can go Backwards? I need the ability to do Three drive Mirroring like OS 4.x can do
well, with Version 4.x you can actually go into the manual raid level and tell it to build an array with three drives in raid 1, which is perfect for our offsite backups :)
I prefer three drives in raid 1 over just two, as it gives an additional level of consistancy checking, so if something forms on the drive that's never swapped, you don't end up with the whole "array" having something odd.
so on this
so just to confirm this actually works? I don't mind resetting to factory etc...

This downgrade will only work for legacy systems (Ultra/Ultra Plus/Pro), the new 312/314/316/516/716X models are not supported by the old firmware. If you do attempt to downgrade a new model to 4.2.x you will likely need to do a USB Boot Recovery followed by a factory default to get a working system again.
