I have a Pro-6, which uses different memory from the Pro-4. You need 200 pin DDR2 PC2 6400 (or 5300) SoDIMM memory. It's safest to go with a 2 GB module - 4 GB modules that work are expensive (and many don't work). Since the Pro-4 only has one memory slot, that would give you 2 GB - which matches many of the OS-6 models, so it is enough.
Based on other forum posts, the Crucial CT25664AC800 and the G.SKILL F2-6400CL5-2GBSQ both work.
4 GB modules that should work include the Corsair-VS4GSDS800D2 and the G.SKILL F2-6400CL6S-4GBSQ
One tip - if you are considering some other module, you can search the part number with google search here (for instance VS4GSDS800D2 site:community.netgear.com) and see if there are any posts that confirm that they work in a Pro 4 or an Ultra 4 Plus.

It will work, but it would be sensible to match the resources in the currently shipping NAS. The upgrade is inexpensive, and is simple to do.
hi I would like to upgrade the Ram; can you let me know how to do, and the right model of memory that i have to buy? .. could you suggest me where to buy it?
tks and best regards roberto
