DS216+ and DS216+II RAM upgrade

RAM upgrade DS216+II to 16GB possible?

First thing, thank you for your website. It is really helpful.

I have a DS216+II with 1GB RAM and I’d like to upgrade it to 16GB. I read in your web that it is possible and I checked your list of Synology Models to RAM modules but just the 216+II is missing from the list. Could you tell me if the 16GB is really possible and which exact RAM module reference should I buy?

Originally Synology DS216+II comes with a single memory stock of DDR3-1600 2G. You can upgrade it to 8GB Crucial or Kingston RAM. It will require to remove the outer casing.

  1. I just upgraded my Synology 216+ II with Timetec ram and it works great. As long as you use the specified ram modules, pretty well any would work. I got a 8Gb Timetec ram stick for half the price of Crucial. Run Synology Assistant to be sure.
