You can drop back to 6.4.0 easily - just download the zip here:http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29938/~/readynas-os-version-6.4.0 Extract the image from the zip, and then use the manual install button on system->settings.
Its hard to go further back (and it would require a factory reset among other things).

Your data volume is extremely full (94%) and you set this up back on 6.1.2.
I would suggest freeing up some space on this NAS (e.g. by deleting some older snapshots). Ideally volume usage should be kept to under 80%.
I can see you have a lot of snapshots and a lot of metadata. What kind of data are you storing on this NAS?

Hello Lennardo,
Here is an article in case you need steps how to delete old snapshot: How do I delete snapshots using the recovery mode on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?
Delete only the ones you do not need, the snapshots indicate the date they were taken.

Usually you won't gain any space unless you delete the oldest. So you need to work oldest->newest. Also, the space savings don't always show up right away.

It would be great to know which snapshot need how much space. So i know in advance how much i can free or which shapshot is the efficientist to delete.
Thank you all

not 6.1.2, i want to go back to 6.4.0
This NAS is storage for some families in our house. It contain a Time Machine (1,5TB), Photos(1,5TB), Office-data (doc, xls, ...), Music and some EyeTV-achives (films and TVshows). These Films and TVshows are the biggest part with around 4TB of using space (and the easiest way to clean up).
I will get the usage below 80% but i think this wont fix the connection problem. Maybe this bring back a bit of speed, right?
Thank you
