Memory Upgrade for ReadyNAS NVX?
Hi Superb forum by the way. Is it possible to upgrade the memory on my ReadyNAS NVX? I currently have 1GB installed from when I purchased it a number of years ago. I would like to run Plex ...

There are no more Plex updates for the NVX. They have discontinued doing updates for it, so I don't think I would throw money upgrading the RAM in it at this stage.
You'd probably be far better off at this point investing in a new ReadyNAS e.g. RN516 or one of our new products i.e. RN526X (just launched) or RN716X (just launched). CPU matters a lot with Plex if you want to transcode. The RN214 may be worth considering if on a tighter budget. The RN214 can transcode some 1080p to a fixed 480p resolution output.
