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 was able to add 16gb to my ds220+ for a total of 18gb, which exceeds what Synology claims you can run. Had success with timetec, but have heard crucial works as well.

Main thing that was an issue for me was having to reinstall the ram a few times. Don't be afraid to be a little rougher than on other machines, needs to be fully inserted and it took a good bit of force for it to finally take

Also DS220+, added 8GB for a total of 10GB with no issues. Official max allowed RAM is 6GB I think.

My make and model of RAM is Kingston 99U5700-027.A00G
