OS 6.2.x on Pro2?
Not sure how I didn't notice this before, but should OS6.2.x run well on my Pro2? Any issues I need to be concerned with?

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredShould work great!
You can of course update direct to 6.2.1 beta if you prefer: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=161&t=78265
Do note that the upgrade requires a factory reset so backup your data first.
Also note that this is not supported by NETGEAR so if you run into issues you will need to make use of the forums or some other 3rd party service for help. - ScottChapmanApprenticeThanks, enjoying 6.2.1 so I'll probably do that.
And since it is kinda outta warranty I see no problems...
Thanks! - chirpaLuminaryI had OS6 on an Ultra2 without issues.
- CharlesRGuideI just switched from a RN102 with 6.2.1 (single drive) to a Pro 2 with 6.2.1 (using the same drive) and all is well. I just did a OS re-install. I have a backup so I wasn't worried if things went wrong...
- ScottChapmanApprenticeSo, is this just the regular OS6 than also runs on my 316?
Just asking so I know where to go for updates going forward. Thanks! - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredYes. After upgrading to OS6 you would use the same images as you use to upgrade your 316 for future updates.

So, do I install the prep image first and then the regular os6 firmware? Or do I need to install the 6.2.1beta linked in the other thread? - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retired
You install the Prep image and then the special upgrade image (R4toR6_latest.bin). The NAS will automatically do a factory default at the appropriate point.
- ScottChapmanApprenticeThen I can install latest os6 from that point going forward?
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredYes
The special image presents OS6 as if it were a 4.2.x image so 4.2.x will accept it.
