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?
As I very specifically said, it's the modified wiring. That diagram was created before the OS6 native ReadyNAS's existed, so it doesn't specifically list them. I have done a replacement on a 516 (which uses the same supply). All you have to do is look at the wire colors to see.
The 600 and X6 are the very oldest ReadyNAS, manufactured by Infrant before they were acquired by Negear.
Since the newer ReadyNAS don't use the drive power connectors, they need more +12V in the main one to provide sufficient current for the drives.
