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.

So really no benefits then for me?
I can't say if there will be benefits or drawbacks for you. As mdgm tried to explained, there is no simple answer. You have to see for each one of the features you are currently using and the ones you would need that OS6 provides. It depends on your specific needs. My personal opinion is that the GUI of OS6 is a great improvement, but it comes with some bugs here and there. Another example : if you need instant snapshots then OS6 offers this (and stable since 6.1.6). Personally when I was getting sick of the old GUI when setting access to a new user. Just my personal experience. Use the Virtual Machine to have a look. It's an efficient way (in terms of time) to have a look on OS6 before trying it for few days before you put back all your data on your legacy readyNAS.
