There will be NO v3.x.x firmware

I've just heard back from Thecus and apparently they currently have no plans to release a v3.x.x firmware revision for the 5200\pro, so that's no shiny new gui for us.

While I'm not overly concerned about this, I'm always more interested in stable functionality over "pretty" I appreciate that some others may not share my view.

Thanks for the info.
Disappointing but not really a surprise.

Has the v3* firmware added any functionality to the other Thecus NAS or is it only cosmetical?

The only thing that I noticed was the inclusion of iscsi thin provisioning. Everything else (from memory) is also included in the latest v2.x.x beta's. So it would be something if they came out with a v2.x.x stable release.
