Readynas 426, is it possible to upgrade the ram?
Hi!
I'm thinking in a few days in change my old ultra 2 to an other NAS. I saw the RN426 with a good a price in a big store. But my doubt is about if the memory RAM is upgradable in this model....

I believe the memory is socketed, but gaining access to it requires significant disassembly (that is, the RAM isn't accessible if you just remove the outer skin of the chassis).
In any event, upgrading the RAM will void the warranty, so it's not something I would do unless there is a compelling reason.
FWIW, the memory in the RN422 and RN424 is soldered in, so those units are not upgradable.

The reason is not to disasembly or upgrade the ram now, but this NAS would be for a few years and then, when the warranty expire, I want to have the possibility.
I don't know if someone had upgraded this model of NAS!
Anyway, I will consider the RN426 with RAM upgradable as you said StephenB
Thanks StephenB!
