Boo-Yah! 8GB (2x4GB) works in pro.

[fbmachines]

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 ?

And another question what is the exact model number of memory you are using ?

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.

That will teach me to read.

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.

I have the Pro 6.

Thanks

I just wanted to say that the pro (rndp6000) works w/4GB DIMMs.

Specifically, at least, these:
DDR2 8GB (2x4GB) PC6400 800MHz PATRIOT PSD28G800K

Frontview shows:
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.15
Memory: 8064 MB [6-6-6-18 DDR2]

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.

I've installed CL5 memory in a Pro Business Edition before, but I gather the Pro 2/4/6 has a new chassis.

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?

Cheers,

Ian

Oops. I've just noticed that that memory is 200 pin, not 240 pin.

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:

Patriot Signature 4GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model PSD24G8002

Thanks guys.

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.

No, I want to install the full 8 gb.

I'll let everyone know on the thread how it works once I get the unit and set it up.

Thanks for replying.
