ReadyNAS Pro 6 Power Supply
I read somewhere on the forum that if the power supply in the Pro 6 dies the whole chassis has to be replaced. Could I just get some clarification from someone who owns one if this an issue of warr...
If your purchase date on our system is correct (please keep Proof of Purchase in case you ever need an RMA) your limited hardware warranty expires in Feb 2017. Replacing the PSU yourself with a 3rd party one would void the warranty. I don't think the PSU in the Pro 6 is considered a user replaceable part. So we would need to replace the whole unit.
Some 3rd party PSUs may require an extender cable to connect properly. The one you linked to is one such one: https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=424298#p424298
If you'd like to purchase one of those PSUs to keep on hand in case the PSU fails after the warranty expires I don't see the harm in that. Though you use a 3rd party PSU at your own risk. We cannot be sure that it would work.
