I'm having some pretty bad luck with a couple aging Readynas Pro Pioneer. One is very likely dead. The other is in a bad way. I haven't totally given up on it yet and will try my best with the help fr...
- Just a quick note to close the loop on this thread.
The "stone dead" RN lives on... It was bad memory on this box as well. Hard to believe but of the four memory modules in two boxes, three were bad or chose the moment I replaced the PS to go bad. I've seen bad memory prevent booting but never seen it prevent even triggering the PS on. In any case, fresh memory immediately allowed it to start.
Both RNs are now running, are fully synched, have several terabytes of data and have not been the least bit unstable.
Oddly, one of them constantly reports that its UPS has been disconnected then immediately reports it being plugged in and it's a "new" UPS. Like 50 time per day. Swapping cables, swapping UPS's, using different USB ports etc makes no difference at all. But that's another thread perhaps.
Thanks to you both for your patience, assistance and valuable input.
Cheers,

Thanks Sandshark, helpful as always. I won't look to expand memory capacity then. And it seems that this older memory is quite expensive but only from retailers, used sources seem plentiful and relatively cheap. I sure hope this is the reason for the failure of the sync and instability. If so, I'm even more amazed it stayed up long enough for me to back up the data. I'll be even more pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be the same issue with the other chassis that is seemingly stone dead!
After a bit of reading here it appears that the memory can be of the 1066Mhz variety, no need to limit my search to 800Mhz apparently. The CPUs were updated to the fastest possible just before I converted to OS6 a few years back.
Thank you
