Help upgrading ReadyNas Ultra 2 Plus memory
I have a ReadyNas Ultra 2 Plus that I am looking to do a few things on. Replace the external powersupply (it crapped out on me on the same day I upgraded the HDD's :smileymad: Upgrade from Raidar ...
Thanks Steven!
I will follow those steps for sure when I get ready to upgrade the unit to OS6. Thanks for posting them!
I found a few options for memory (see links below). Not sure if it matters if its dual channel or single.
- Crucial 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model CT25664BC1067
- G.SKILL 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model F3-8500CL7S-2GBSQ
- Mushkin Enhanced 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model 991643
Any of those a better option than another?
None of those is any better than another. But you can get it cheaper used on eBay.
Thanks! I ended up going with a InstallerCCTV 12V 5 Amp UL Listed AC DC 60W 2.1mmx5.5mm powersupply and a stick of Crucial 2GB Single DDR3/DDR3L 1600 MT/S (PC3-12800) memory. I'm aware the memory will operate at the PC 8500 speed, but otherwise I think it should work without causing any issues, and let me upgrade it when I get it in in two weeks (after the unit is operational).
I've used PC3-12800 memory in an Ultra/Pro 2 with no issue. It's actually a lot easier to find used than the slower stuff. Getting a supp[ly rated for CCTV was a good move. They tend to have better regulation, especially at inrush, than those just listed as for LED lighting.
- Should I upgrade the BIOS with the new hard drives in pace or without?
I’m basically starting from square one and have already dropped in the new memory, the PSU came today and the new hard drives have no data on them, so they will need to be setup….
