I want to update RAM on my new Ts-251D
2 Questions
1) Can I only upgrade upto 16GB?
2) if yes, do I need to get 8 X 2 like https://www.newegg.ca/crucial-16gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/0ZK-0070-00010?Item=9SIAFETB754461
OR can I buy 1 X 16GB
https://www.newegg.ca/crucial-16gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/0RN-0005-000Z4?Description=CT16G4SFD824A&cm_re=CT16G4SFD824A-_-0RN-0005-000Z4-_-Product
Can I upgrade or 32GB? as they have that option too?

Hi
I am looking for a professional advise please
I already have 2 laptops at home, yet none have enough HDD space of course to back up my data, specially movies, so now what i am looking for is long-term solution for my data storage where i dont have to worry about losing data after some time, and strong transcoding for 4k movies to show on my tv.
I have been considering many options, and find that NAS is better solution, however, i am annoyed with the fact that NAS considered a laptop as well and i already have 2 laptops
do you recommend having buying NAS device? or you can suggest different solution?
And if NAS. which one is the best for streaming 4K movies on my TV, preferably 2 bay one.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
cheers,
Karim

40t to 60t I would like to only start with three drives and add drives as needed. I've been leaning towards the qnap ts 673 but it is at the top of my budget. I thought of buying a good quality 4 bay and adding a job at a later date. I've watched Robie and so many of his videos I feel like sending him a birthday present. I'm a professional photographer.
I want storage fast and simple but I will still work off of my main PC
I would like to get rid of sharefile if possible and send files directly to my clients with a very easy user experience to download photos. I'm leaning qnap over Synology because of hardware.
Last hurdle I did purchase Asus ax 11000 and two ax 6100mesh routers one of which will connect directly to the nas and I want to future proof the nas speed connection as much as possible.
Thank you but just too much info out there

What is the most cost affective Nas for playing Steam games from? I have wifi6 and 10gb network already but will only use this to game from and do not want to spend a ton but want fast gaming from it.
If another NAS higherend $800-1400 can do everything and game from as well let me know. I have up to 4 people who may connect to it at one time.

| DS918+ RAM upgrade? |
|

Hi, I'm writing from Italy so English is not my first language, I hope that the description and my questions down below will be clear enough.
I follow your YouTube channel and that helped me a lot during the choice of which NAS to buy for my home. I finally chosen the Synology DS918+ with 4x4TB WD RED HDDs.
I'm now in the process of upgrading the RAM from the standard 4GB. I know that both Intel and Synology recommends max 8GB for this type of CPU, but then I watched your video and read your article about upgrading it up to 16GB.
I surfed the web to study other users experiences and seems that this unofficial upgrade works with no issues.
I'm not a real tech guy about RAM, motherboard, etc., this is why I'm writing to you.
Reading you article I understood that DS918+ runs with a standard 1866 MT/s instead of a 1600 MT/s, so my questions are:
- is this unofficial upgrade a "kind-of-safe" upgrade not threatening my data, my HDDs and the NAS itself?
- should point to a 1866 vs 1600 for max compatibility and reliability in my home environment?
- I found these two 16GB kits (2x8GB) but I cannot see if there're any difference between them: CT2K102464BF186D or CT2K8G3S186DM
Thanks in advance for your help, and keep doing your videos as they're very informative and well done.
If you have any sponsored link, that ships to Italy where to buy the RAM kit, I'll be more than happy to buy there to support your great work.
Thanks and best regards
