ReadyNAS OS6 issues with Ultra 4

Hi All,

I'm having trouble with OS6 on latest OS6 firmware and wondering if somebody saw similar issues.

I have Ultra4 with 4x4TB WD Reds. I had no issues on OS4.

Upgrade to latest version went well, but tests showed that data got corrupted (I would copy 200k / 2TB files and than compare md5sums). I tried factory reset and rebuild volume but it didn't help. tried to turn x-RAID off / remove quote  experemt with different protocols to transfer (AFP, NFS, rsync) but all results are consistent

After 2 days of reboots/stress testing it finally gave up with kernel crash

So it looks like there's some compatibility issue. I ordered new memory module to see if it could be the problem but ti's highly unlikely.

I tried to downgrade to 6.9.3 and it's more stable, but after 1+day of stress testing it also gave up and netgear daemon stoped working. I was able to ssh into the box, there were not kernel crashed but the daemoung has crashed with segfault on restart. 

After reboot, system went through initialization and I got to the wizard.

 

So from my side I have 2 questions, does anyone run legacy model pro4/6 ultra4/6 with WD REDs on OS6 ? if yes what version.

second is how to downgrade back to OS4 ? I found couple link on this forum but all of them are dead
