MEMORY UPGRADE
I want to upgrade the RAM storage in my QNAP TVS-872XT-i5-16G-US.
I think the max ram is 32GB, it replaces the 16GB in two chips of 16GB each.
16GB DDR4-2666, SO-DIMM, 260 pin, T0 version
Please let me know the exact model of RAM that is fully compatible with the QNAP TVS-872XT-i5-16G-US.
Is the Crucial memory function exactly the same as the QNAP BRAND MEMORY? It is so much less expensive I just wanted to make sure the memory is the same speed and function and has no issues.
Please send me a model number for a kit (2x 16GB sticks) or by the stick if not available in a kit.
The CPU itself supports up to 64GB per channel. But maximum capacity you can buy is 16GB per stick. The x72XT series come with dual RAM slots which physically limits it up 32GB of RAM. This will change when bigger RAM sticks will be available to buy.
Find Qnap recommended RAM as well as compatible Crucial RAM bellow.

Are larger chips available to buy? I saw a 64gb kit using the Amazon link above… will that work? how can i educate myself as to what will in fact work?
Yes, it should work. Just make sure you have the same DDR and frequency. Crucial is the most reliable option.
For what it is worth, I was lucky enough to find an attractive price on a pair of Samsung 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM Modules (M471A4G43MB1). To my surprise, upon installing the pair in my brand new TVS-472XT recognized 64GB (63GB addressable / 61GB free) according to QTS (4.4.0.0979) Control Panel/System Information.
The TVS-472XT comes with 2 x 2GB. Does you have to install RAM in pairs or the system will take 1 x 4GB/8GB/16GB?
I would recommend pairs, but mixing capacities will also work. Just don’t mix frequencies.
