Netgear Pro Pioneer RNDP600E-100NAS not powering up
When I power on the RNDP600E-100NAS the display lights up with ReadyNas and thats it. The large fan (top rear) is on, but not the lower fan. The Ethernet ports dont even flicker. I replaced the po...
Do you know the part number and seller of the proper (best) Power supply for this 6 drive unit. I want to make sure I replace power with the best new one to hopefully solve this issue for more than a couple of months.
I do not have a current recommended supply. I had one (by KDM), and it now also appears to be out of production. The APEVIA SFX-AP400W seems like a cost effective choice based on the specs, but I've not used one. It doesn't have as high a rating on +5V and +3.3V as the original Seasonic (and neither did my recoomended supply), but the NAS doesn't use that much of those, anyway. The 12V is typically more important, for the drives. There is just one 12V bus, but that really shouldn't make a difference.
There is a vendor on eBay that still sells the KDM supply already modified for use in a ReadyNAS.
If you want "the best", the SilverStone ST45SF V3 would be a step up. It does have a larger fan, but others have reported here that that doesn't adversely affect it. The older model of this has a smaller, but offset fan. There are even higher wattage units by EVGA and Corsair, if you want to spend that much.
In general. though the original is only rated at 300W, you'll need a 400W or greater as a replacement to have the proper 12V rating. Most will not have three 4-pin Molex connectors, so you either need to re-wire (using the angle connectors from the original) or use a splitter.
