iDomiX channel has actually physically tested 16GB upgrade with Synology NAS with the same CPU and RAM and proven that it works perfectly.

Customer Experience:

TS-253Be OWC 2x8GB 1867MHz ?

I had some spare RAM which I thought was 2x4GB OWC PC14900 DDR3 1867MHz SO-DIMM 204 Pin RAM. But it’s actually 2x8GB’s and the NAS is pperformingreally well. But I’m no technician so I went on the Google hunt to find out if this RAM will be ok, is there potential to damage the system?

The is no problem with OWS RAM. It is made just like the Qnap RAM. As long as CPU supports this frequency it will work just fine. I have seen people upgrading QNAP 4GB DDR3 1600MHz to 1867MHz and increasing the NAS performance.
