Cannot copy large files with ReadyNAS Ultra 6!
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 6, running the latest version of the firmware (6.10.4 Hotfix 1). It's populated with (6) 2TB drives and has served me well. I'm not trying to copy a large media collectio...

If your NAS still has the stock 1GB of RAM, you need to upgrade to at least 2GB. Others have reported issues with OS6.10.x and only 1GB. All native OS6 Intel based ReadyNAS have at least 2GB, so Netgear is not insuring the OS can run in less. Unfortunately, downgrading to 6.9.6 is not an option unless you want to factory default.
The memory is PC2-6400, unbuffered, non-ECC -- basic PC memory from that generation that sells cheap on eBay. And the Ultra6 can't handle sticks larger than 2GB. The motherboard is not dual channel, so you don't need matched sticks of RAM.

Ok, thank you! I actually just ordered some RAM for it yesterday (was only $16 for 4GB of RAM!). :-) Will be here tomorrow. I was *hoping* that was the issue, but wasn't 100% sure.
Thank you again for the quick reply. I'll definitely post back after I install the new RAM to confirm that it solves the isuse.
