Firmware Downloads
FYI here's a little script that downloads all available firmware versions starting with v6.0.0. It'll be good to keep them on hand for the day that they go away online. Unfortunately, however, so...
I believe a more accurate statement would be ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 systems must not be updated directly to 6.10.x from 6.2.4 or older firmware. They must first be updated to 6.2.5 then to 6.5.2 and then to 6.10.x. ReadyNAS 202, 204, 212 and 214 systems must not be updated directly to 6.10.x from 6.3.4 or older firmware. They must first be updated to 6.3.5 then 6.5.2 and then to 6.10.x.
The RN200 series was released before 6.3.x firmware, and many RN200 systems never got that firmware.
If someone still has an RN200 system running 6.2.x (or older), then they don't need to install 6.3.5. They can instead use 6.2.5->6.5.2->6.10.x
As far as firmware archival goes, I think it is enough to save 6.2.5, 6.3.5, 6.5.2, 6.10.9, and 6.10.10. I don't see any reason to run anything older than 6.10.9, and the earlier versions in my list allow ARM units to migrate to that.
I don't know where you got that statement of the necessary incremental upgrades,
It's taken from the readme in the firmware zip files.

How on earth do you manage to remember all that?
