Memory test ReadyNAS Ultra 2

[ChristianoNL]

Good day everyone!

I have a question about the ReadyNAS Ultra 2 memory upgrade.
A couple of months ago I bought this new NAS for my home to backup, download and share files!
Today I’ve upgraded the memory of this NAS from 1 GB ASint Sodimm DDR3 1066 mhz to 2GB Corsair Sodimm DDR 1333 mhz.

2 Hours ago i started the memory test of this device, the pattern lit goes form
1. Disk 1 lit
2. Disk 2 lit
3. Power button lit
4. USB lit

I this the correct way to test my memory right, or is my memory bad?
I've searched this forum but i cannot find any information about the Ultra 2 to run memory test.

Thanks Alot!
Bye...

The memory test runs in a loop until it encounters a problem or is stopped. If still running after a few hours or so memory should be fine

Dear mdgm,

Thank you very much for your anwser.
The memory test ran for about 10 hours straight without any problems, when I looked this morning the test still runs.
So I can tell my memory should be fine.

For people they want to upgrade they memory also:
Its Corsair Valueram DDR3 1066 mhz Sodimm CM3X2GSD1066

Thanks for your help!

Here it is a DDR3 2 GB SODIMM from Samsung: M471B5773DH0-CH9. The memory test ran for hours now, memory should be fine.

Well...

Readynas Pro 2
I have tried both
Corsair Valueram DDR3 1066 mhz Sodimm CM3X2GSD1066 WITH 8 chips per side and
Kingston KVR1066D3S7/2G, also with 8 chips on each side.

Neither of them work.
When I start the nas, the fan just spins up and never slows down.
Only the power light lights up, all of the indicator lights stay dead.

So the quest goes on... well, maybe later

Should be the same hardware.

I have tried both
Corsair Valueram DDR3 1066 mhz Sodimm CM3X2GSD1066 WITH 8 chips per side and
Kingston KVR1066D3S7/2G, also with 8 chips on each side.

So you have 16 chips total on each module?
My working 2-GB-module has only 8 chips total.
I think this is the difference.

[Royan]

yep,
and as far as I can tell, all the newer batches of CM3X2GSD1066 have 16 chips.

... all the newer batches of CM3X2GSD1066 have 16 chips. ...

That is the reason, why I prefer to buy my modules made by e.g. Samsung or Hynix: You can be sure you get always the same modules as long as you order the same part number.
Corsair, Kingston & Co sell different modules under the same part number.

Have any of you guys tried a 4gb memory module and had any success yet i have tried 1 so far and had no luck for upgrading the ram from 1gb to 4gb what was CT51264BC1067 Not Compatible but this was laid out as a 256 x 64 as it 2 x 8 cant see why it had that code as it should of been CT25664BC1067

[dannyleesmith80]

has any one tried the 4gb CT51264BC1067 as i am using the 2gb CT25664BC10 and it work fine i will get one next week and try it if not

[JarnoG]

I tried the Kingston KTH-X3B/4G (4GB, 16 chips) last night and that one doesn't work.

[dannyleesmith80]

CT51264BC1339 4 GB DDR3 RAM its a 512 x 64 memory module from Crucial mite be the next option. It has 8 x chips seems to only accept modules with 8 x chips only by the look of it. at the moment I am using a 2gb crucial 256 x 64 at the moment and it works fine faster speed ram also 10600 its doing the job

[JarnoG]

Do not work:
Kingston KVR1333D3S9/4G (4GB, 16 chips)
Nanya NT2GC64B8HA1NS-BE (2GB, 16 chips)
Elpida 2Rx8 PC3-10600S-9-10-F1 (2GB, 16 chips)

How's the Crucial memory working out?
