Silverstone SX650-G for ReadyNAS Pro 6
I've been searching around and couldn't find anything regarding this specific line of PSU. I never bought a SeaSonic replacement for my Pro 6 and it seems to be out of stock now. And from what I unde...

Here is what I did last weekend.
My ReadyNas Pro 6 powersupply died. It was exhibiting weird random reboots and also falsely marking volumes as bad. It would also fail to spin the fans.
I did not want to go SeaSonic again so I did some research. These units (and the ReadyNas Ultra 6 Plus) use SFX power supplies. SFX is a form factor not a brand.
Luckily I have Fry's electronics near me. I picked up two new SFX power supplies. One for my Pro 6 and the other for my Ultra 6 Plus.
I replaced the Pro 6 power supply with a Corsair SF600. This is probably the best power supply in this segment and complete overkill for this application. I did not want to deal with this again and the unit is quality with a seven year warranty. It's a 600W power supply.
The Ultra 6 Plus power supply was replaced with an Enermax Revolution SFX650w. This is a 650 watt power supply.
They worked out of the box with no issues at all EXCEPT for needing an ATX 24 pin power cable extension (Male to Female). The quality in build on both the Corsair and Enermax is apparent. Way better than the stock SeaSonic.
Hope this helps.
