Where to find new bios and how to flash ReadyNas Ultra 6
Hi! I am using an Ultra 6 with OS 6.9.3
* Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D510 @ 1.66GHz * Bios: 06/10/2010 FLAME6-2 V1.1 * Loader: RNDU6000-V1 I am going to setup Virtual Box and want to have VT-X e...
If your system is working well, I think you should leave it as it is.
There are some instructions here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Where-to-find-BIOS-updates-Ultra4-Plus/m-p/1240668#M126088
Since you already have OS 6 installed, you won't be able to use the add-on that's linked to the post. You'll need the manual procedure that's described there (using ssh).
It might be wise to wait for mdgm-ntgr to confirm that the manual procedure is the same for the ultra 6 (though I believe it is).

Thank you
The NAS has been completely wiped and I think that time is good to do this update now :-)
We will wait for mdgm-ntgr :-)
If you want to avoid the ssh commands, you could
- put in a single scratch disk
- revert to OS 4.2
- install the add-on in the post
- convert back to OS 6
- then reinstall your current disks.
That is more work, but would avoid any risk of trashing your bios by an accidental typo.
According to Intel at Intel-Atom-Processor-D510-1M-Cache-1_66-GHz, the D510 does not have VT-x capability.

I missed that aspect. There is a newer bios than 06/10/2010 FLAME6-2 V1.1, but it won't add VT-x.
