RND4210V3 Solid State Drive
I have a ReadyNAS 4210 V3 which works but is getting slow. I would like to update to Solid State Drives. Are Solid State Drives compatible with the ReadyNAS 4210 V3?
Hi GBul
Welcome to the Community!
SSDs might be a good idea for an upgrade but not much of SSDs are listed on the compatible list of drives for the ReadyNAS System for the RND4000/RND4210. There are a members who have tried to use SSDs but we're not sure if you'll have the same experience using it on RND4200s.
There are post as well that it might cause different issues when it comes to it's SMART values as It might provide inaccurate data when it comes to reporting issues with the drive.
Also, RND4200/RND4210 is pretty old and with what you are experiencing on performance, the SSD might not be able to provide that much benefit to your RND4210. SSDs are most advised to units with 10G connection since it will most benefit from the SSD's feature/function.
IMO, upgrading your NAS to a more powerful OS 6 Unit before going with SSDs might be the best way to go.
