More on CPU specs of the ReadyNAS Pro

"So on the ‘new’ Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200) the motherboard VGA header is in fact a 15pin connector, not a 12pin connector like the old one had."

I am the new owner of a RNDP6xxx-100NAS,
and I DO have the 15 (16 -1-Plugged) pinout.

Were -100's shipped with the 12-pin pinout too ?

I am currently doing testing,
but in a few weeks I'm game to test anything.

I can and will do the 1333 test if my chipset/firmware supports it.

On the fan/heatsink issue.

A simple trick is to use the stock OEM panel,
but cut it out for the taller heatsink/fan,
then use a 4" or 6" "Dome" style speaker grill.

Simple, and low cost...



Whats the EXACT difference from the -100 to -200 anyway ?

Is it a SATA-150 or SATA-300 buss device as an example ?

I ask, because the hardware compatibility list is ONLY for -200 units !

Three different calls yielded confirmation of this,
and no legacy list is still posted on the website.

Perhaps someone has the link for the old (-100) HCL ?

I am unsure what drives will work,
and things I've read elsewhere confirm
the -200 list (current) is folly for a -100. :(

At least for some of the 2-TB and one of the 3-TB...

We could sure use it on the "Wayback Machine" to help out.



In any event, it will be torn down and stripped bare,
that N/S heatsink is coming off without a doupt,
and hopefully chipset numbers will be there for us.

It will be going back on with active cooling of course.

I will be compiling a set of tight HQ pics of all,
and hope to show here, if permitted anyway.

It's a dead duck in their eyes now, should be fair.

What mini-PC card is that anyway ?

It is obviously NOT a custom build,
it has serial ports, audio ports,
and of course a VGA port as noted.

and many jumpers that are undefined.

Sure hope we figure that one out.
