If you have purchased a new NAS Drive in the last few months, then chances are that you would use it to the best if its abilities increasing the memory to the maximum in order to run more apps and allow more users to access the device at any time. The latest 2020 Generation of Synology NAS (the DS920+, DS420+, DS720+ and DS220+), much like the older gen devices, all arrive with the ability to upgrade the memory to 8GB, but some users like to push this limitation, using unofficial memory from brands like crucial or Kingston, installing bigger and faster memory. Generally speaking, Synology NAS has a long-standing reputation for being underpowered when compared to brands like QNAP and Asustor, at least out of the box, choosing to focus on their award-winning DSM software. This is changing a bit in 2019/2020 with the newer Synology drives featuring improved hardware choices, but still, for many, it seems a little underwhelming. One potential benefit that’s highlighted to improve performance considerably multiple users is to upgrade the RAM (Random Access Memory) in the Synology NAS drive. Today’s post will cover my thoughts on the usefulness of upgrading the factory-installed RAM, how to determine if a RAM upgrade is needed at all and exactly how to do this. Let’s start with the latter, do you need to upgrade RAM?
Added an 8gb Kingston card, as recommended in a previous video.
Went like a dream and now I'm running with 12 GB. Thanks for the advice.
How much of that 12GB have you every seen being used by your 920?
I put in this bad boy (previously used by NASCompares in vid) as I wanted a ram level that I don't need to touch for 5 years: Crucial CT16G4SFD8266 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 SODIMM 2666MHz CL19 1.2V Dual Ranked 2Rx8. Works a treat and cost me $80 AUD. Boom. Thanks
I was browsing the Plex forums and read an interesting explanation on how DSM handles RAM relative to the CPUs max addressable RAM.
In short, the Intel J4125 CPU cannot address more than 8GB of RAM. DSM can recognize more (e.g., 20GB). However if the system were to use more than 8GB, “the kernel will start overwriting memory from other processes - which will cause it (DSM) to crash and very likely corrupt data on the volume.”
Adding more RAM is certainly a hot topic on this sub, especially those with x20+ devices. I’ve never witnessed my DS920+ exceed 8GB RAM use, but for those who run many docker and VM applications beyond the CPUs stated limits are you seeing data corruption/kernel overwrites?
Another great Synology video! Addicted to your channel from the US! 😁👍🏻
Am interested in your unofficial memory tests/recommendations for the new DS1621+ since of course I just got one! 😬 It looks like it need DDR4 ECC SODIMM memory. Not sure about Dual Rank. Thanks again for some very informative videos. I got the 1621 after watching your review. 😉
Read my other comment, plus the below (this is for 2x16GB ECC 2Rx8 SODIMM DDR4):
KSM26SED8/16ME (Kingston w/ Micron ICs)
KSM26SED8/16HD (Kingston w/ Hynix ICs)
M474A2K43BB1-CTD (Samsung w/ Samsung ICs)
I have the Samsung on order. Hear-say has it that those don't even give a warning message within DSM.
@@deinemuddaisdoof THANK YOU! Where did you order the Samsung? Been looking all over, but can’t find them in stock. And yes I’m avoiding the boot errors too.
@@tonyvalenti6614 no worries, I ordered from memory.net. i just ordered b/c i was curious, the kingston work perfectly otherwise except for that message on boot! :)
@@deinemuddaisdoof Thanks again. Yeah, I returned my Kingston just before opening and after I found out about the boot error. I got Samsung EVO NVMe Cache memory so might as well go with their RAM too. 😁 I’ll check your link!! Much appreciated! 👍🏻👍🏻
TLDR: Don't buy extremely overpriced Samsung RAM with Synology stickers.
I am using Kingston KSM26SED8/16ME (Micron ICs) 2x16GB 2Rx8 ECC SODIMM in my DS1821+s. The original "Synology" RAM has Samsung ICs. I have already done several TB of rsync without issues. Also passed Synology assistant memory test.
Disclaimer: Synology does not produce their own RAM at all. The big producers are Micron/Crucial, Kingston, Samsung, Hynix... Synology only puts their Synology stickers on Samsung RAM, that's it... However, I do get a warning within DSM on boot that my Kingston RAM is not "Synology" (aka Samsung) RAM. This is harassment and scaremongering, which imho Synology should be sued and fined for. IF my RAM were to ever stop working within DSM (aside from mechanical failure) it would be Synology's (wrong-)doing and not the RAM itself, but I doubt Synology would want a class action.
if the ds920+ nas cpu only supports upto 8gb is they any point of upgrading nemory above 8gb , and what performance difference on plex and virtual station
Good information, nice presentation. So far the stock 4GB seems to be utilizing at only 20% with 3 devices playing movies. So far so good! Do have 400GB cache installed, so maybe that helps...
Thanks. 👍
I'm confused about the "dual rank" 8gb stick you showed, 1Rx8 ? I can only find single rank 8GB
Not sure if there are dual rank (2Rx8) 8GB DIMMs easily available. Synology is hiding pictures and detailed specs of "their" (Samsung) RAM for a reason... Just check your original RAM or find reliable images / specs of the "original" Synology RAM, and then get the "non-Synology" alternative :)
I have heard that I tell recommend no more than 2400 MHz. I know that 2666 will simply scale back to the slowest chip so what’s the point of 2666?
Does CT16G4SFRA266 work for the DS920+ instead of CT16G4SFD8266? Amazon shows CT16G4SFRA266 is a new version. Thanks.
Someone any ideas what to do ? " Detected non-Synology recommended memory module configurations. You may have ".......
Nothing. Its a harrasment from Synology in the FW to force you to by overprised Samsung RAM with Synology sticker on it.
Has anyone tested the oversized memory modules in DSM 7?
Just added a 16 Gb module to my new 920+ and it's running fine with DSM7
@@fu4616 Cool. Waiting for mine. Wondering if the J4125 processor can’t access more than 8gb, what will the other 12gb be used for?
if we are not running vm on synology will it still use additional ram over 8GB? i mean it will definitely show up all the ram we added but will it ever use it beyond 8GB?
@Super Mario yes that's true, but then it get used as cache.
I can't find dual rank 8gb modules.
Unfortunately, memory is one of the things that is being heavily impacted by hardware shortages in 2021. There is a good chance that the memory module you are looking at is effected. I have covered other brands and capacities here on the channel, so give them a look. Cheers for watching
Will it works with DSM 7.1？
Hard to say. Getting mixed reports. There's enough info thought to give me doubt tbh
Seems to work for me. I see 20gb. Not sure it can be used. Need to do more tests.
@@aniellodimeglio8369 Same! Just upgraded with 16GB to 20GB on a DS920+. So far, it works like a charm. No errors, no messages and the memory test passed with flying colors.
Thanks for all your efforts, NASCompares - Brilliant!
I've just bought a 920+ (I didn't want to miss the media-friendly CPU) and upgraded with a Samsung 8GB, as listed as compatible elsewhere - It works and tested with no issues. DSM 7.1.1-42962 update 3.
@@jeremyrobins5563 same. Those ds920+ are going sold out everywhere. Ds923+ didn’t convince me (especially for plex).
Need to decide what to do with ram upgrade either 4gb original or max out with 2x8 or 2x16 gb 3rd party ram.
