ReadyNAS becomes unresponsive - could it be tied to FW6.4 and backups?

The answers to your questions:
- The UHB Drive is formatted NTFS. Originally this was reformatted through the previous version of NAS firmware, and it was working fine for some time.

it is not only a issue with usb hard drives. backup to smb also becomes unresponsive.
It is after the Update to 6.4.0 on two ReadyNAS Devices!
Don't format your USB Drive! And don't fall in cost for 'try this and that'-Netgear-"Support". They have a firmware issue!
