ReadyNAS Pro rebooting and resyncing, with file copy hangups and other issues
I have been using a ReadyNAS Pro RNDP6350-100NAS for many years as a home music server (Logitech Media Server) and backup for my PC and data files. Firmware is 4.2.30. It has not been 100% st...
Have they changed the wiring, or did you not get the Seasonic? All of the Seasonic's I have gotten have two wire sets with 2 4-pin Molex and one floppy connector each and one dual SATA. I have always cut them all shorter and replaced the connectors with the 90° ones from the original, as it makes the installation a lot cleaner. I don't recall if I measured to see if the three connectors were common on the backplane, but I suspect that they are.
You may be right about slot 4.
Sandshark,
Thanks for your comments and support in this thread!
Yes, I got the OEM Seasonic from Newegg, and it has the two wire sets with 2 4-pin Molex and one Floppy connector.
I used both 4-pin Molex from one wire set, and one from the other set.
I may eventually use one of the original 90 degree Molex connectors, with the slip-off cap over the easy push-in wire connections, to modify the floppy connector. This would giving one wire set per 2-disk connector in the NAS like the original setup. As I pondered in my previous post, I wonder if it is actually necessary in terms of power distribution. Like you, I suspect they are all internally on a common rail, so why bother with the modification? I think those PSU power wires can handle a ~50w load.
With today's large drives, if the rest of the NAS keeps running smoothly, the loss of a single drive bay is not a problem.
