Can I upgrade CPU and memory for ReadyNAS 4312X and 528x

Hi, I would like to know if I can upgrade the CPU and memory on the ReadyNAS 4312X and 528x .. I know the older version of 516 allows this flexibility. And the new 420 series can only upgrad...

Hi Marc_V,

Thanks for response. it is good to hear that there are extra slot for memeory, and it can be upgrade later.

What about the CPU? It is solder in? or it can be upgrade?

I read that the older 516x's CPU can be upgraded, but may not be the 528x.

If so, what about the ReadyNAS 4312X's CPU ? I cannot find any information about it...

Thanks

Hi taiya

The ReadyNAS 4312X's CPU is Xeon E3-1245v5 not really sure if there's any upgrade available but it might just be possible.

RN526X's CPU is not soldered since it's an x86 Intel® D-1508, this one you might be able to upgrade with the right spec.

StephenB is right, doing upgrades outside of NETGEAR's Support will Void the warranty

Hope this helps!

We should point out that upgrading the CPU or even RAM in a desktop NAS will void the hardware warranty.

I don't know the policy on RAM upgrades for the rackmount products.
