1GB Memory for ReadyNAS NV - original Infrant model
I just recently bought one of these with 4 1tb HDD's, and while I was awaiting delivery saw this on ebay "Crucial CT12864X335.16FFY (1GB DDR PC2700 333MHz 200-pin SO DIMM) RAM Module" for just £18. ...
Letting you know that I still run an NV+ v1.
I have 4x2TB drives it in.
Well made device that has been running flawlessly for many years.
Running Raidiator 4.1.1.4 [1.00a043]
I use Macs and ReadyNAS is one of the few that is 100% compatible with native protocols.
Still work perfect with the latesr version os Mac OS X 10.11
im still running a NV+ v1 with 4x 750gb Seagate Barracuda Enterprise drives.
it has been running non stop since new, late 2007.
Had to replace the psu once, and a hard drive died a couple weeks ago, but thats it.
Its used only for backups
Running RAIDiator 4.1.15-T3
i will say though that im getting ready to retire it. im in the process of bringing up some new equipment and this will be turned off when that is completed, likely in the next few months,
figure i got my money out of it....
Hi markgca,
Thank you for sharing in the community and we appreciate the good things you said about your ReadyNAS NV+ system.
I hope you that you're looking at our new OS 6 series as a primary option in replacing your old system.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community Teamsorry but im not looking at OS 6 series.
i own three readynas products; the NV+, a ReadyNAS Business 6, and ReadyNAS Pro 6. they all perform well. i was very happy with them.
but it felt like you abandoned us when you came out with the new OS6 firmware, saying it wouldnt run on the old systems, when we all know it would, at least on the Pro 6. so the decision was; kill the warranty and risk data loss by installing unsupported firmware, or continue along with limited functioning eol firmware. Not a great choice when you have multiple units, still under warranty.
Also the snapshot sizing function: necessary in a production environment, but limited/disabled in a firmware update, and every subesequent update said it would be enabled in a future release. But it wasnt, except in the new OS6 which wasnt supported on these units. So we are stuck at 10GB snapshot which is woefully inadequate for these types of products. I run out of snapshot space every time i try to back up, making this 'feature' unusable at the fixed size of 10gb.
so my three year old ReadyNAS pro 6 was a dead product before the five year warranty was even up. Ditto for my four year old ReadyNAS 6 Business. Not what i expected when i purchased them.
i think you had the best hardware product out there, and for years i thought the best support as well, but when the infrant guys all left something went wrong.
sorry, i know this isnt what you expected to hear, but you asked.
