1GB Memory for ReadyNAS NV
Hello, I searched extensively for a compatible DIMM for my ReadyNAS NV to upgrade it to 1GB. I already ordered a wrong module by guessing what type I needed so I would like to have a type-nr from s...
I have sucessfully upgraded the memory in 2 units. one is a NV+ and the other is a Dou.
I got the SODIMM at Fry's in Houston.
Corsair VS1GDS333 they sell them for 37.99 although the will pricematch Amazon for $31.99.
Since i have seen that some people are saying the "new" corsairs, just like "new" Kingston...cruitial ... Partriat.. ect may not work, I think I have figured out what to look for in roder to make sure you get one that does....
In another thread somwhere I read that it will not support 1G-bits DDR chips. You need to make sure you get a 1GByte module made up of 512M Bit chips. The easiest way to determine this is simply to count the big chips on the board. If there is 8 that are 1M bit chips, if there are 16 they are 512m bit chips. You will likely find 8 chips on each side (front and back) for a total of 16 on the ones that are compatable.
If there are only 8 chips, it will likly NOT work. I cant confirm what wont work, but I can confirm that both the 16 Chip Corsairs I bought work.
Whats good about getting them at a B&M store is you can count the chips, and if it isnt 16....ask for a different one before you checkout.
