RNDP6000-100 CPU/RAM upgrade suggestions
I have a ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition, I believe it is the older model (RNDP6000-100) bought in 2008. I bought it with a RAM upgraded to 3GB (I think DDR2 DIMM). It currently has six, 1TB drives. ...
Either processor is fine. The difference in performance is minimal, but so is the price difference these days. Both can be had for under $10 on eBay. I agree with StephenB, go for the 4GB total RAM. It's also dirt cheap on the used market. CL4 memory will give a minor speed boost over more common CL6, and isn't that much more today. But you'd have to replace it all to get that increase.
thanks MCEComputers & Sandshark the information you guys provide are very informative.
I need to study on how to enable synology backup using rsync.
Anyway, I was able to replace the E2160 1.80ghz (dual-core SLA8Z) with E7600 3.06ghz (core 2 duo SLGTD). I do worry about the temperature issues, but I am unable to find a CPU heatsink/fan that could fit without modification.
I was not able to upgrade the RAM because they are either expensive or unavailable, so I am stuck with 3gb for now. (I am searching for Crucial CT51264AA667.M16FC or Patriot PSD28G800K 2 x 4GB).
I may need to upgrade the hard drives soon. Mine are 6 x 1TB and using XRAID I barely have enough space for my use. I may start with 4 drives for now to reduce the heat.
How do I access cpu temp info? via SSSH?
To enable rsync on Synology: Control panel -> File Services -> rsync tab
