Additional Memory?
Can I add memory to my Netgear ReadyNas Pro 6 Business? The model # is RNDP6000-100NAS Business Edition. I purchased it with 1 Gb memory. I recently had to open the case due to a small aluminum heat sink that fell off one of the chips on the motherboard and was rattling around inside. I am planning to use thermal adhesive to reattach the heat sink and noticed that the board has an available slot for another stick of memory.
What kind of memory should I use? Will the board use another Gb? Is this something that I can purchase from NetGear?

- It will take up to 8GB (2x4GB) of RAM. Memory upgrades are not supported. If your replacement modules cause data corruption NetGear can and will refuse to help recover your data.
If you still want to go ahead you would need modules with the same physical layout and specs as the stock module. There are some suggestions in the Community Hardware Compatibility List for Memory.
Be sure to run at least a few passes of the memory test before trusting the new memory. Even then it may pass and still be incompatible. Take a look at the boot menu: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu
