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.
There's nothing wrong with keeping the 4.2.x firmware in place either. If you want to increase data safety, you could use raid-6/dual redundancy (either with 4.2.x or btrfs).

In my opinion yes.

Netgear does not use the btrfs-raid modes. Instead it uses normal software RAID with btrfs. Note normal raid will handle that scenario if the disk write (or read) were to fail - which is the usual case.

You would need to totally rebuild the NAS, including restoring data.

Each platform type has its own add-ons. plex is available for the x86 legacy devices.
