Strange Power Behaviour in ReadyNAS Pro
Howdy,
I have a ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer (RNDP600E), now about 5-years old, and it has served me very well and faithfully. It's had some hard drive upgrades in its life and all has been good.
Yesterday it started displaying some rather stranger power behaviour - I turned it off via the front console button, it powered down successfully, but seconds later it powered itself back up again. I repeated this, and the same thing happened, so I turned it off once more and this time turned it off via the main switch on the PSU after a clean shutdown.
Then I went to turn it on today, and it simply would not turn on. I assumed the PSU had died. I left it plugged in for about 10-minutes whilst starting to Google for replacement PSUs, and then it suddenly powered itself up. Hooray! However every time I do a shutdown (either via the front console button or via the web interface), within seconds it is powering itself back up again. It's not reporting any errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

- You were on the right track with your Google search. See this: https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76183
- Freaky to find this, I have EXACTLY the same problem of it booting up when I shut it down and had to manually turn off the PSU switch when it powered off, now it won't start up. So I've plugged it back in an will wait 30 minutes! Finger crossed.
Worked! 15min. - That's a very common symptom of a power supply that's starting to fail.
Sorry to rebirth an old thread but I'm looking for a list of compatible PSU's for my old ReadyNas Pro Pioneer.
List = More than 1 so I can find some!
Does a list exist? Can't seem to Google find anything.
Next stop will be ripping it out, measuring up and guessing on a replacement, which I'm not keen on the guess part.
A Seasonic SS-300SFD is the usual replacement, best purchased with an 24 pin extender cable.
Any SFX power supply will fit; you want 3 4 pin molex connectors.
