ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP4410-100NAS)

I am getting ready to upgrade my memory on my NAS unit.

I purchased the Corsair VS4GSDS800D2 4GB DDR2

My question is, how long does it take to run the memory test after install? This unit is used by 30 employees daily.

Thanks

  • Shouldn't take too long to run, perhaps anywhere between 1 hour to 4 hours. It should only do 1 pass of the memory test and then you would need to reboot the unit. It will sit and do passes until the end of time (or the memory sticks)
  • Ideally, best to run during downtime (evening/weekend) to get multiple passes in.
  • Thank you for the replies, looks like I will be working this weekend!
  • If I set it to do a memory test, will it only do one test, then require attention? Or if I set it to run a memory test over night will it just continue to run the test over and over?
  • It will run over and over, non-stop, until you stop it. The screen would display any errors found.
  • Quick update. I installed the new memory. Let it do a check over night. Ran 5 tests with zero errors.

    Is there a way to display how much memory it is running on the LCD?
  • No, LCD won't show it. Would have to boot up and check FrontView.
