1GB Memory for ReadyNAS NV

If you're in Canada (or the US) this stuff seems to be compatible: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=31402&promoid=1292 http://www.bestdirect.ca/products/177984/PSD1G33316S/Patriot/ Passed three rounds of the memory test. Full 1GB shows up in the web interface. Sped up my NV+ a fair bit. 32-35MB/sec during large file copies. :)

Bought the Patriot PSD1G33316S you linked to at NCIX, installed it in a ReadyNAS NV+ that was failing to take some rsync backups. Problem fixed, rsync is now doing fine.

For the next person googling, I leave this breadcrumb from my cronjob:

my Linux server talking to a ReadyNAS NV+ wrote:
rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes: phase "unknown": Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(836)

Fix that ^ with more RAM.

Consistent with randynas' note about DDR chip size, my RAM module had 16 chips on it (8 on each side).

Also I should note that if you plan to do this upgrade and perform the recommended 2 cycles of memory testing, you should budget at least 4 hours downtime for the tests to complete.

Thanks for the help, BikeHelmet, randynas et al.
