Not sure that previous post does answer my question.
I'd appreciated verification of what memory I need. I hate returns.
Thanks.

Stephen, thanks. So many legacy models I'm just not sure. Ditto on memory. Too many choices. If I weren't ordering online it wouldn't be a big deal for a return.
sotrack, I'd appreciate that. Thank you.

Make sure it is a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 (Not Ultra 6 Plus), The CPU in the Ultra 6 is the Intel Atom D510:

It has two DIMM (Not SODIMM) slots, supports up to maximum of 4GB (2GB each slot DDR2 667/800). Default was 1GBThe Ultra 6 (RNDU6000) and Ultra 6 Plus (RNDP600U) have very different hardware.

Hi mdgm,
It's an Ultra 6 not Ultra 6 Plus.
From Frontview:
Model: ReadyNAS Ultra 6 [X-RAID2] Serial: 2EE107R60017D Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.27 Memory: 1024 MB [DDR2] That's one of the things that's confusing. The photos on the early Ultra user guides and the website show a picture of the NV series.
In my seraching I checked Hardware Compalibility for memory and got "Page Not Found".

Saw Stephen's posts about the Pro 6. Saw posts about the Ultra 6 Plus.
I could go on but I'll stop. :)
I'm just a tad bit confused and need some verification. Any clarification is helpful.
Thanks.

The specs I mentioned are for the Ultra 6.
sotrack's example of what he used will be helpful too.
After replacing the memory you should run at least a couple of passes of the memory test. N.B. it is possible that incompatible memory may pass the memory test.
