I have a QNAP TS-653D running QTS 4.5.3.1652. Should I upgrade firmware?
I have 2 QNAP units TS-653D (ARAGORN) and TS-869L (FRODO). Both are running versions of QTS 4.x. FRODO is old and cannot even be update to more than 3GB RAM. ARAGORN has been upgraded to 16TB.
So, I am constantly being told to upgrade OS to a 5.x version but I have heard nothing but bad things about it erasing data, dropping services and so forth. I figured that if it ain't broke then don't fix it.... but I can (possibly?) upgrade from QTS 4.5.3.1652 to QTS 4.5.4.2957 since that shouldn't be as dangerous.
Sorry, someone must have older models like mine and tried this... just looking for some help.
