Hello everybody, I have just installed a "Corsair VS1GB400C3" 1GB memory in my N5200Pro and is works fine without any problems. - the WEB interface seems to work faster - Read/Write performance seems to be slightly better (appr. 10%) Performance measurements:- N5200BPro (FW: 2.00.08) - RAID5 (3x WD1000FYPS)
- Windows Vista SP1
- File size to copy: 1GByte
512 MB RAM (original)Read: 41MB/sec. Write: 29MB/sec. 1024 MB RAM (Corsair VS1GB400C3) Read: 45MB/sec. Write: 32MB/sec. Regards schumi.

I installed a 1G Infineon / Qimonda DDR333 CL2.5 and it is running fine since 2 days. FW 2.00.08 The web interface is reacting much faster. Performance tuning uses different knobs to turn (which may use memory btw)... Martin mmattel, Can you advise on the exact part # for the Infineon/Qimonda DDR333 CL2.5 1GB ram used for your Thecus N5200Pro? I tried a search and so many possibilities came up. I'd like to buy the right one... Thanks!

Hello everybody, I have just installed a "Corsair VS1GB400C3" 1GB memory in my N5200Pro and is works fine without any problems. Thanx for the heads up. I installed this same DDR module after reading your post and it's all good I also have a N5200Pro. Now that I have the extra memory, I think I'll check out that bloatware of a bittorrent client Azureus Cheers Teck

what you trying to say Pardon the humour. I have an unfortunate habit of taking the piss out of everything ;D The bloatware comment was in relation to Java. On the PC, I used Azureus prior to seeing the light and moving to uTorrent. Looks like I'm back to using Azureus again Cheers Teck

no problem, I was just having a laugh too. I have to agree with you azureus is not a thin client by any stretch of the imagination....but I am pretty well impressed how well it runs on the thecus in relation to my xp laptop. I guessing that because it runs in console mode on the nas, java is not doing the "hard work" of looking after a gui.....

oh and just tried 2 Corsair VS1GB400C3 dimms in my 5200 pro. Neither will boot, it just sits there bleeping at bios post test I'm just wondering whether Corsair have badged different dimms with the same part number...could someone who has a working dimm please describe theirs. Mine are double sided 16 chip devices, chips are stamped with "CORSAIR 64M8BDC PRO900609"

just found this
"Value Select modules are built with RAMs that are procured at the wafer level and are packaged and tested to our specifications. As such, they are not available as individual ICs, only as modules. This approach allows us to ship product with very good performance characteristics, low product cost, and a very low return rate." at corsair support forum....
I take this statement to mean that the value select models could actually contain chips with the same markings but those chips may indeed contain silicon from different suppliers....

Mine are double sided 16 chip devices, chips are stamped with "CORSAIR 64M8BDC PRO900609" Ditto but the chips on mine are marked 64M8BDAG PRA1100824. It looks like you're right about same markings but different suppliers. In summary, would the following be correct...noone has managed to get a 1GB module working on N5200 hardware but on N5200Pro hardware, certain 1GB modules are working fine? Cheers Teck

Cheers for that.
I've ordered a unknown brand 1gb dimm that uses the same chips as the 512mb stick (16 instead of 8 obviously) in my 5200pro. It's winging it's way from hong kong so I don't expect to receive it for a week or so but will report back when I get it.

I read every article here, and did quite a bit of research on this topic. I'm happy to report that I've successfully used a Kingston ValueRam KVR333X64C25/1G, easily available on NewEgg for $34, on my N5200Pro. My hypothesis was that any 1 GB "low-density" ram would work. Since I wanted to keep it the same PC2700 (DDR333) CL2.5 as the original 512MB, I searched high and low for a low-density 1-GB, and Kingston turned out to be the most accessible. Note, it should be a teeny bit faster than the Corsair VS1GB400C3 people have been using here.
Additional research showed these low-density DDR333 RAM may also be compatible - no guarantees, but worth a try if you can get them.
Infineon HYS64D128320GU-6-A Micron MT16VDDT1284AG-335C1 Gigaram GR9053-1GB/333 Hynix HYMD512646A8J-J Elpida Elpida EDD5108ABTA-6B
Muhahaha! Exalt me?

Hello,
I managed to try using alternate 1 GB module PC400 module and it seemed that it took but what's the way to confirm the memory report that it should show.
I tried using command from ssh and got the following Total Memory info: MemTotal: 905760 kB MemFree: 623204 kB Buffers: 63208 kB Cached: 130440 kB
Can anyone confirm the best way to ensure module took properly? It seems that it's pretty close to 1GB but just wanted to know if using cat /proc/meminfo would be the approx. command. I also managed to test the following module as well and it seems to work too:
ADATA: MODOAD4G3I41XDK1C58 DDR333 (2.5) 1Gx16 (ADNDB1A16)
Thanks in advance, Nibbles

Just installed a Ultra 1024Mb dimm in my Thecus N5200Pro (replacing the existing module) and it works just fine ... GUI works a lot faster, PHP/MySQL apps run faster as expected ... Model: ULT31664, PC3200, 400Mhz, chips on both sides, chip model 46V64M8-58. Hope this is helpful ... ($34, link: Ultra 1Gb @ TigerDirect)
