Cheapest RAM upgrade for Qnap and Synology

Cheapest RAM upgrade for Qnap and Synology

ram, for qnap-nas – other brands. I am wondering about, if G.skill, Corsair (value-select) or Kingston (value ram) will also work? My concerns are, is the NAS-bios will recognize these other brands – even if timing etc. is the same ? (I am thinking of 2×4 or 2×8 GB) The keywords you need to focus […]

DS216SE and DS218j and DS218 and DS218play RAM upgrade

Can I upgrade DS216SE and DS218j and DS218 and DS218play RAM? A simple answer to this is a NO. There is no physical slot for a RAM stick. Why can I not upgrade RAM on Synology non-Plus models? These NAS models have a very weak computing power and everything is so simple that it can be soldered […]

QNAP 410+ …. time for upgrade

Everything has worked flawlessly forever but recent months movie streaming to the TV’s has been a pain. We still not 100% why but QNAP saying the 410 is too low a CPU. One the one hand we agree. On the other, not sure why it just suddenly stopped one day….nothing changed. Qnap 410 is really […]
