I'm hoping someone can help. I've just upgraded my Readynas Ultra 6 (?) to OS6.
I'm looking to upgrade the RAM and am just having trouble correctly IDing my model. The serial/model number on the bottom of the unit says RNPD 600U however in Frontview next to model it says Readynas PRO.
My understanding is the 6 ultra and the 6 pro take different types of RAM? Is that correct and Is there any other way to confirm the actual model type?
Any help with what RAM I should be getting as well would be greatly appreciated, I'd be happy going to either 2 or 4GB, whichever I can get hold of.
You have an Ultra 6 Plus, which has the same motherboard as a Pro6. I have heard that some of them were shipped with a motherboard that identified itself as a Pro. Or maybe OS6 is just mis-identifyfing it. From a memory standpoint, though, use the guidelines for a Pro6.
I have not found the Pro6 boards to be anywhere near as finicky with RAM as some seem to indicate. I have used several brands, and always go for low latency. The last a bought was GSkill Platinum PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 off eBay. It does require low density memory, so finding 4GB sticks at a reasonable price is difficult. I've stuck with 2GB sticks. Don't get the type with the heat sink that sticks way up, as it won't fit.
