ECC Memory for ReadyNAS 6 Ultra Plus

Can anywone who has upgraded their ReadyNAS 6 Ultra Plus to 8 GB RAM (ECC preferable) share the spect, brand and model of the memory modules that are compatible.

 

I currently have 4 GB of non-ECC RAM installed on my NAS: Patriot Signature Line 4GB 2x2GB DDR2 800 PC2 6400 Memory Kit PSD24G800

 

However I would like to bring it to 8 GB ECC memory and tried these: MICRON 4GB DDR2 PC2-6400P SERVER MEMORY MT36HTF51272PZ-80EH1

 

But NAS would not boot when they are installled.

  • The Ultra6Plus and Pro6 (same motherboard) do not support ECC RAM.  They also do not support memory in the 2Rx4 (aka high density) configuration of that memory.

     

    4GB PC2-6400 non-ECC 2Rx8 memory is hard to find and expensive when you do because desktop Windows of the era didn't support >4GB of memory.

     

    A quick look at eBay shows one seller with a pair for under $50.
