ReadyNas Pro Business upgrading hardware and to OS6
Hi, I have been using this in my home since this model came out all those years ago and am looking to bring it more up to speed. I am running bios version 07/26/2010 FLAME6-MB V2.0 The CPU is C...
The 6-bay Pro models are not nearly as particular about the memory they will work with as some would have you believe. I have bought several brands of memory (Corsair, AData, GSkill) PC2-800, usually going for that which has low CAS latency. You do have to stay away from the 2Rx4 (aka "High Density, aka "For AMD") memory, which means 2 x 4GB sticks is costly, so you'll probably want to stick with 2 x 2GB..
You have the latest BIOS, so the E7500 is a good CPU choice.

Are there any other ones I could go faster/quadcore while using the standard heatsink/arctic5, etc...
My Pro Business is one of the models where the Serial No. is the MAC address
So you'd have a very old board rev so your motherboard would be compatible with a smaller range of CPUs than some newer units.
It has always been my understanding that the older version motherboard would not accept FLAME6-MB V2.0, so having that revision BIOS says the board is the latest. mdgm-ntgr, you have other info?
Unless you do a lot of extensive parallel processing (like multiple transcodings), the quad core is not going to help you much, and the higher TDP can cause issues.
I’m not sure on that. It is quite a long time ago now and the first gen Pro was discontinued a long time before I joined NETGEAR.
I understand there’s a sticker on the motherboard showing the board rev. There’s a long thread on CPU upgrades for the Pro with lots of info.
