I found a small increase (6% to 26%) in Read/Write speed with PC-router-ReadyNAS NV+ by upgrading to Crucial 1Gb memory, as documented on a little wiki that I wrote:

That’s what shows on my invoice.

However, they have another part number: Crucial CT12864X335 (16-Chip 1GB) (Micron’s MT16VDDF12864H)

that shows up on the NetGear hardware compatibility list:

It’s about the same price, maybe a little less.

Use this link, search for the part number listed – CT12864X335:

DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.5V • 128Meg x 64

ReadyNAS Forum
says :
*ReadyNAS does not support CL=3.0.
*ReadyNAS does not support 1G-bits chip, that means 8-chip 1GB DIMM will not be supported

CT12864X40B is a CL3 eight chip SODIMM. Are you sure this works ?

hi, thanks for documenting this! i found the memory part number on ebay 10/1/09 for 49 plus shipping. going to add a couple of disks, and upgrade the memory.

i have two of these nas… one for at home, one for at work, and they sync so i have automatic offsite storage of important files.

thanks for the info

I will give it a go on my NV+. Purchased via your affiliate link so hopefully you get commission. Cheers and thanks for all the help you provide.

It did seem to help a little. Considering the small cost I was happy.

I don’t know what the maximum is but 1GB is affordable – doubt if more would help much.

Thanks for the video. Did upgrading the RAM make a big difference in the REady NAS NV+? If so how so?

Thanks

Hi ! Just wartched your mem upgrade (which is very nice done). Do you know what’s the maximum memory that NV+ supports ?
