ReadyNAS 626X spare power supply
This is a request for information: where I might buy a spare replacement power supply for my 626X. My ReadyNAS just went out of warranty and I am late getting this done. I want to buy a new power...
Thanks for the tips!
Maybe I got lucky. I found a seller (Vanda Trading) on eBay with a 270W PS (item 156660240090) that has the exact pin out as the PDF diagram — pin 12 (blue) -12V and pin 18 (white) -5V have been modified to (yellow) +12V, and the listing indicates the PS is suitable for the 626X and 516 among many other Netgear NAS models. I wonder if this is one of the ones you indicated that won’t work because of the 4 pin connector?
Just looking at it isn't going to tell you everything you need to know because it looks standard but the pin-out is non-standard. Netgear has never sold spare parts, so the only way to get one is to re-wire a standard supply's connector or take one out of a parts unit. It's nearly the same as those for the legacy 4-bay units, but it has the 4-pin CPU connector, so pre-modified supplies that are available on eBay won't work (unless there is a new one I'm unfamiliar with). The fan is also installed in the supplies used in the OS6 models.
The supply is a Flex ATX form factor with the -5V (which is often already unpopulated) and -12V pins being changed to +12V, as shown on the right in this diagram: http://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf.
But since it is simply a re-wired standard supply, you don't necessarily have to keep one around just in case. It's not like it was a Netgear part.
