My latest advice is to rule out the disks with seatools and run the memory test boot option. I'm going to be doing this over the next 48 hours. the thing I find really funny is that I seem to be beta testing an officially released firmware. Is there a magic number of units that have to go through this? Would anybody honestly recommend the OS6 netgear devices? In my experience OS6 has never delivered in nearly 2 years of use. I can say that it hadn't from the start because the features advertised when I bought it like spindown were still to be added in later firmwares. And we all know how these updates are going. The excuse of not being able to replicate the issue surely cannot be enough. If a 3 disk setup in x-raid and plugged into a bog standard ISP router is a issue the device should not be sold. If you are selling a NAS designed for home use Joe Soap needs to be able to use it.
