ReadyNAS Pro 6 max RAM
Hi all,
Yes, I'm aware the Pro 6 is ancient and I'm aware that many threads here seem to suggest that 8GB is the maximum this box can take.
But I'd like to have zfs/TrueNAS on it and I'd love 16GB on it.
So I thought I'd ask: is 8GB the actual limit or could it be that it might take 16GB, it's just that nobody ever tried that? It's DDR2 so I'd imagine it might simply be because 8GB DDR2 sticks don't exist?
Thanks!

8 GB ( 2x4 GB) is the actual limit, and compatible 4 GB sticks are really hard to find (and pricey). Most 4GB sticks won't work.
Hi Stephen,
I already have 8GB, I was hoping to get to 16GB.
Too bad, thanks for your help, as usual!
Hello
Can you please advise what 4G ram stocks you have that work with the 6 Pro.

I have Patriot PSD28G800K sticks
IMHO, OMV is much better suited for the Pro line. I'm looking for an easy way to accomplish that for all the Pro and Ultra models. But for a Pro6, it's a lot easier since you can add a VGA cable and get a video output for the installer.
