How do I find how much memory the NAS has?
ReadyNAS-nv+ How do I find how much memory the NAS has? There is nothing in any of the admin menus.
Netgear used to have an approved Hardware Compatibility List for memory, but the manufacturers of the memory modules had a nasty habit of changing the makeup of the modules without changing the model numbers. So the original versions worked but later versions did not.
I have a 7 year old HP laptop with a 1GB memory module that matches the original HCL and I installed it in my NV+. I really did not notice any difference because I used the NAS as a file server, and was not running any add on applications. When I needed the laptop again, I removed the 1GB module and replaced the original 256GB memory module. Even with the 1GB module in place, the sparc based CPU is still a limiting factor. The faster x-86 models with an Intel processor have a 1GB module standard. But then the processor is much faster also.
