About going to OS 6, if i increase the RAM to 512MB, it will solve the slow performance?
You can't, since the RAM is soldered into the system board

I'm managing folders with photos and videos insiide, I'm not willing to define file permitions, but folders instead.
I've folder each year, and each months of the year inside.
For instance on Year 2016, I want to have the November month with read/write/delete but the others months no, and everithing inside the same year of 2016!
And to get the more complex:
- User 1: read/write/delete => to November folder
- User 2: read => to all folders
- User 2: read/write/delete => to all folders
One option is to use two shares - "current" which holds a folder for the current month, and "archive" which holds the folders for all previous months (use whatever names you want of course). Set up the share-level permissions to give user 1 full access to current, and read-only access to archive. Set up user-2 to have full access to both shares.
Then you add in a frontview backup job that copies current to archive. Run that manually at the beginning of each month. Then delete "november" from "current" and make a new "December" folder there.

2x4TB should be fine with both OS 5 and OS 6. OS6 doesn't have any known expansion limits.
I've also seen one post that said upgrading the v2 products to OS6 is possible. It also said that performance would be poor.
The poster did not publish the procedure, and the conversion binaries you can download are all for x86 NAS.
Why are you wanting OS 6 on the v2?
