download NAS OS 4.3.19.7 if you have a 5big Pro or 2big NAS

[naspa]

Hi there,
any owners of the Intel-based "5big NAS Pro", or its contemporary, the ARM-based "2big NAS", should make sure they have downloaded the last ever update capsule 4.3.19.7, while they can. (They are the models after the 5big2 "5big Network 2", and the 2big2 "2big Network 2".)

These capsules date from early 2019, but with Seagate removing all NAS OS support this year (July 2022), and hiding or deleting web pages, this might be your last chance to get them. The internet-based update method has been stopped, but the capsule method still works.

Hidden web page URLs:
https://www.lacie.com/as/en/support/network-storage/5big-nas-pro/#downloads
https://www.lacie.com/as/en/support/network-storage/2big-nas/#downloads

The publicly linked-to versions of these pages no longer have capsule download links down the bottom, so it is just a matter of time before these hidden versions (and the download-files they point to) disappear.

Speculation about the future
Maybe fvdw-sl firmware will support these models some time in the future.
The Kirkwood-based "2big NAS" should be similar to its predecessor, the 2big2.

Thanks for your amazing work fvdw, Jocko, and anyone else involved.
I also have 5big1 and 5big2 units that I hope to install fvdw-sl on, one day.
