Hello, I'm looking for highest performance from my DS1621+. I ordered 6x WD RED 14TB HDD, I intend to use RAID 10 because I think that's the highest performance, I think that's what I heard? My question is about RAM - I've blown the budget on all the upgrades so far (2x WD SN850X NVMe - 6x HDD - 2x 10gb UniFi switches). I bought a cheap 10gbe PCIe adapter, it didn't work, so I bought the Synology PCIe adapter (ouch!). I don't know if I can afford to max out on Synology RAM. But I also for sure can't afford to buy cheap ECC RAM and then have to upgrade to Synology RAM. I couldn't find a video about off-brand non-Synology RAM, so I'm wondering if you have advice on what type of ECC RAM I should buy?
