RN102 - External USB drive keeps disconnecting after upgrade to 6.9 firmware

I have a 3TB external USB drive connected to my RN102 with 2x2TB drives installed. Since upgrading to 6.9 firmware, the external USB drive keeps disconnecting within a few minutes, and won't reconnect unless I reboot the RN102, and even then only stays connected for a few minutes until it shows as disconnected again. I've tried reformatting the USB drive, and confirmed it works with other devices (MacBook, PC, etc.) with no issues.

There are some network fixes in 6.9.1 - but those should have affected your internal volume too.

 

Still, it might be worth a try.  The manual upload link is here: https://kb.netgear.com/000051531/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-9-1

That doesn't seem to help. The drive disconnects after 5 minutes. Any chance I can safely roll back to 6.8.1?

Netgear doesn't recommend it, but I've seen a few posts from folks here who downgraded without problems.
