DS720+ compatible RAM upgrade
| System Memory | 4 GB DDR4 | |
| Memory Module Pre-installed – Soldered | 4 GB (4 GB x 1) | |
| Total Memory Slots | 1 | |
| Memory Expandable up to | 8 GB (4 GB + 4 GB) official |
The max Synology recommends is 8GB DDR4. But you CPU spec says you could in theory upgrade up to 20GB.
Non-ECC SO-DIMM
Crucial RAM alternatives:
The max I have found is 20GB (4GB +16GB) – Or try adding 32GB + 4GB

How to do it:
Add a RAM Module on DiskStation
The optional Synology DDR4 RAM module is designed for DiskStation memory expansion. Follow the steps
below to install, check, or remove a RAM module on your DiskStation.
To install the RAM module:
1 Shut down your Synology NAS. Disconnect all cables from your Synology NAS to prevent possible damage.
2 Remove the hard drive trays from the drive bays. An empty memory slot is located on the inner right side of
your Synology NAS.
3 Insert the new memory module into the empty slot:
a Align the small gap between the gold connectors of the memory module with the notch on the empty slot.
Insert the memory module into the slot. Make sure that the module is properly inserted.
b Gently push down the memory module until you hear a click.
4 Insert the drive trays back into the drive bays.
5 Reconnect the cables removed in step 1, then press the power button to turn on your Synology NAS
To make sure DiskStation recognizes the new memory capacity:
1 Install DiskStation Manager (DSM). (See the next chapter for more information.)
2 Log in to DSM as admin or a user belonging to the administrators group.
3 Check Total Physical Memory in Control Panel > Info Center.
If your DiskStation does not recognize the memory or does not start up successfully, confirm that the memory is
installed correctly
the 16gb Ram doesen’t work
CT16G4SFD8266 doesn’t work! Just the blue light keeps flashing.
Bought one 16GB CT16G4SFD8266 but unfortunately did work for the DS720+. Can you let me know what 16GB module did you use.

I bought the 2 16GB recommendations for the DS720 + but none of the 2 worked, I only support 8GB at 2400Mhz
CT16G4SFD824A and CT16G4SFD8266 not work
My DS720+ only came with 2gb installed, maybe European models got 4gb default? Good information, thank you!
Your DS720+ description says it has 4GB built in but it actually only has 2GB unless then UK version is somehow different. Max memory Synology recommends is 2GB + 4GB upgrade to 6GB max. I’ll be trying your Crucial 8GB though for max 10GB since you said you had some weird issues in your youtube video with the 16GB even though it recognizes it.
I am unsure why you would suggest a 16GB upgrade if the processor can only work with 8GB.
bought Kingston KCP424SS8/8 8GB DDR4 2400Mhz SO, but nas boots with message incompatible memory module
I tried a Crucial CT16G4SFRA266 which has the same specs with your recommended CT16G4SFD8266. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Tried maybe four times, but just no luck. That’s money down the drain. 🙁
Confermo: funziona solamente lo stesso modulo ma da 8 gigabyte, non quello da 16.
