OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...

mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

1.) Why do you suppose the ReadyNAS thinks that this drive has issues when two different Hard Drive diagnostic programs say otherwise?
Diagnostic programs don't pay attention to ATA errors. ATA errors can be caused on some drives by simply sending the drive an invalid command. But we don't expect that to be happening on the ReadyNAS, so ATA error are out of the ordinary. If you have SSH, you can check your SMART data and ATA errors by running these commands:
apt-get install smartmontools
smartctl -a /dev/disk/internal/0:5*

3.) If number 2 above = YES, is there some way to clear that data so that the ReadyNAS reassess the condition of a particular drive from scratch sometime in the future?
From SSH, run this command to reset the error history log:
rm -f /var/readynasd/smart.sq3
