Synology

This is a place for all topics regarding Synology hard- and software - especially (but not limited to) their NAS devices.

Just one thing: Let’s please be pleasant to each other and respect that people have different experience levels. Some are pros, some are noobs, yet everybody may have good ideas or interesting questions to ask and comments to make, and all of these shall be heard and appreciated. ❤️

And since we know from TV that all IT nerds 🤓 are h4xx0rs and wear hoodies all the time (if not even ski masks) in front of their computers, I chose an appropriate banner image (image credit).

RAM Upgrade on DS920+ (self.synology)

I have a DS920+ which I haven't upgraded the ram for, so it still has the default 4GB on it. Reading around, it sounds like Synology only supports adding an additional 4GB for it, but some other sites mention putting an additional 8 or 16 into it.

Has anyone upgraded theirs with more ram? What have you added and what were your experiences?

I added 16GB to mine. It was recognized without me doing anything special. I run about 15 Docker containers in addition to the normal Synology suite. I only end up using about 3 GB of ram, but I don’t mind having 17 GB available for paging.

I ended up adding 16GB to mine to bring it up to 20 in total. It has been running great ever since I installed it. My biggest problem before hand was I am running a mysql docker container that was taking a huge performance hit, to the point of timing out some of the apps I was running against it, and that has cleared up.
