After updating to the final RAIDiator 4.2.16 release, my 8 GB of RAM is fully listed in Frontview as 8192 MB instead of 8064 MB. Maybe they released the reserve. I'd be interested to see if anyone else using 4 GB of RAM gets the full amount in Frontview now too.
I see fbmachins post is for the new pro series -200, I do not think it will work on the old pro series the -100. If any one can confirm that it works on the old pro -100 series that would be much appreciated.
fbachines have you notice any improvement and if so how much ?
I've been using it since December. And mainly using it for VirtualBox. The only change with 4.2.16 is that it added back the missing 128 MB RAM in Frontview.

Has anyone tried a memory test in 4.2.16? I just installed 8GB (2x4GB), the same model listed in this thread, into a PRO6 and the memory test gets stuck at exactly 100% pass 1 (just before it rolls onto pass 2). The time continues to count up but the progress stays on 100%, Pass 1, Err 0.

That's what I thought too but just let it continue. It is a lot of RAM and it takes awhile. I think I let mine sit for a hour or two before it finally moved on to pass 2. After that it seemed to not take so long between passes. Letting it run overnight was the best method for me because I was constantly checking it and it seemed to take sooo longgg!

Thanks for confirming that. I only wanted to do 2 passes so was really frustrated to see it stuck right at the end! Now I've rebooted and started again 😞
When you upgrade to 8GB, what performance do you get?
I want to upgrade, but I don't know if I should. I would like to install more addon and specially, I am doing a lot of video streaming like plex.. etc. Please help me if I should pull the trigger since we know what memory works.
The time has come for me to purchase my third ReadyNAS and, naturally, more is better, so I'm looking at the RNDP6630-200EUS, the 18 Tb Pro 6.
It's so easy to come unstuck with memory -- so many types, such similar model numbers -- so I want to be very careful before I place the order.
The shop I usually buy from can get hold of the Patriot PSD28G800SK, which seems to be almost identical to what you installed. The only difference is that the 800S is CL5, whereas the 800 is CL6.
Anyway, is there any reason to expect that the CL5 DIMMs wouldn't work here? Even if they should work, is there any reason to prefer CL6 memory over CL5 in this case?

The new 18 Tb Pro 6 arrived during the week, as did my Patriot PSD28G800K memory, which I had to purchase from a shop in Ireland, because I couldn't find that model in the Netherlands.
My new beast is up and running after 7 successful passes through the memory check.
My only complaint with this unit so far (if you can even call it that) is that the Seagate ST33000650NS drives that came with it are unbelievably noisy. The unit is in the cupboard under the stairs, so it doesn't matter in my case, but you really wouldn't want this box anywhere near you while you're working.
As I will be purchasing a new diskless Readynas Pro 6 shortly, can those who have posted on this thread confirm that the following ram will work on this unit:

That's the model that I use and it has been running great. I haven't tried running just one stick though. Is that what you plan to do?
If so, I can remove 1 stick and give it a whirl.
SUCESS REPORT: I can report on my Pro Business Readynas I just completed a 4-->8Gb Readynas changeover in RAM, and I noticed my NAS with WD30EZRS drives is a bit snappier with 8Gb than 4Gb. I used two of the PSD24G8002 Patriot memory sticks like above... I had two 2Gb Adata blue memory modules in there with aluminum shields from Egghead before, I might try those memory sticks in my buddy's Readynas Ultra 6 w/ low power Atom dualcore processor.
I too would like to try running ESXi datastores and the Java VM Virtual Box on my Readynas pro business and use my PRO as a multi-media file server, probably a Conroe 2.4Ghz dualcore upgrade (E6600) from the E2160 might help also, but dont want to violate my warranty... Any advice for virtualbox or ESXi? I'd love to know here or via a PM. Thanks!
The Pro Business (RNDP6000-100) has a CPU that doesn't have VT-x so you can't run 64-bit VMs using VirtualBox. You can use it as an ESXi datastore for 64-bit VMs though.
3rd party memory upgrades are not supported, neither is installing stuff like VirtualBox.
CPU upgrades do void the warranty and not all work (can be incompatible or cause overheating etc.). If you want to try a CPU upgrade search for CPU upgrades that others have done). Instead of doing a CPU upgrade it would be much better to sell a Pro Business (RNDP6000-100) and get a Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200).

I see, you're referring to the E2160 native CPU - well I guess I'll have to decide whether I want to void my warranty to get the VT-x available with the Conroe 2.4G dualcore E6600 CPU... decisions decisions... I've read else where in the forums that memory upgrades will not violate warranty if they pass tests and are done responsibly and properly. I kept my original 1Gb of RAM so that will always be available if I need to downgrade memory (thats easy, just take out 2 screws and click in and out memory modules with an antistatic wrist-strap in place) but I'm not going to tinker with a CPU and the RDNP6000-200 is a better idea for that indeed. I bet someone has gone with an E6600 (and said forget the warranty...) and made this Virtualbox and ESXi VM datastore both work though...
Good suggestion on the Pro 6 -- I tried 2x to order (order then reorder) a Pro 6 refurb from these guys when they CLEARLY showed stock (I screen-captured it 2x) : http://compu-america.com/index.php/rndp ... -serv.html but they are disreputable dirtb@gs and they never honor their prices nor availability for me (nor I suspect others too..) and I have a BBB complaint pending with them.
