Upgrade Pro6 to RN626X
My Pro6 (w/ OS6) is starting to have issues (again). It looks like a firmware issue where it just disappears and nothing specific in the logs. The box is old enough that it's probably not worth spe...
Is this a box you will buy or have already?
It seems this NAS is EOL now:
Given this is the highest end desktop model, it might indicate that more models are going EOL soon. Apparently, it is almost impossible to buy a ReadyNAS these days.
When you say "it disappears", do you mean the NAS disappears from the network, or something else? Have you tried both Ethernet ports? That can be a sign of a failing power supply, as the LAN and on/off circuitry use a dedicated power source (+5VSB) within the supply that's always on unless the unit is unplugged or off via the rear switch. Being on all the time, it's a common initial failure of the supply.
No, not a NIC issue. Looks like the unit just freezes up with nothing in the logs, so no real direction even if I wanted to fix it.
Tried reloading the FW without any change. Could be a memory or processor issue but not sure it's worth the time to try and trouble shoot the issue. If I had some free time then maybe.
The memory test boot menu option is easy to run.
The serial console might pick up a problem that is not captured by the logs.
