314 or Pro 4 Max memory?
Thinking of buying a ReadyNAS 314, or a Pro 4. Spec sheets says 2Gb RAM (314) and 256Mb (Pro 4) installed from factory. Any ideas as to maximums possible? (Understanding usual Netgear disclaimers ...
The 312 and 314 use the same CPU, so probably use the same memory. I believe I read the memory is easy to access on the 312 and 314, but a lot harder in the 316 (but still doable).
Obviously you should check to see if your system is swapping a lot before installing a memory upgrade. If a lot of memory is being used for caching then a memory upgrade likely won't make much difference.
You should run the memory test (at least for a few passes) before trusting memory. Note that passing the memory test does not guarantee that the memory is good and compatible, it just indicates that it is likely to be. However failing the memory test would indicate that the memory is incompatible or bad.
