ReadyNAS Ultra 2 RAM upgrade
Hi, In the intention to upgrade my Ultra 2 (RNDU2000) with OS6, I would like to upgrade the RAM of my Readynas too. With the read of some topics here but for the Ultra 4, it seems I need a DDR3...

After seeing the exact reference of the Samsung memory stick in the thread mentioned above, I did another try and it works now.
I don't exactly know what happen. Instead of power off throught the front end I do it by double pressing power button, and instead of unplugging the power cord, I let it connected, powering up the NAS by pressing button instead of by connecting power plug.
I launch a memory tomorrow evening, and this morning it seems to still running, lit LED with this sequence :
Disk 1, Disk 2, Power, Backup
Anyway, thanks for your answer Sandshark.

The Ultra/Pro4 use DDR2 RAM, not DDR3. The Ultra/Pro 2 use DDR3.

Thanks
Yes, and I buy DDR3, may be I'm wrong speaking about thinking topic was about Ultra 4, may be it was Ultra 2 +.
By the way I realize I missed some topics (search "RAM" and some topic only have "memory" in title)
I found this one : https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Memory-test-ReadyNAS-Ultra-2/m-p/754622/highlight/true#M1911
I'll try to read it a bit, but if someone have some clues, it would be great.

The memory I have used to upgrade a Pro/Ultra2 has always been 1Rx8. That would be consistent with that thread saying only 2GB modules with 8 chips work.

Yes, thanks for your answer, I see that too.
I tried this one with only 8 chips (4 by side) : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01MCX85WH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But no luck, it doesn't work.
It seems to be finally a Samsung M471B5773DH0-CH9, but I don't know what doesn't match with compatibility need.
Hopefully I can send back to seller.
