Just to clarify, the RAM on the DS218j is actually soldered onto the board, so unfortunately, it cannot be upgraded. You won’t be able to add more RAM to that model, which is something to keep in mind if you were considering a performance boost.
As for the drives, as long as they are SATA-compatible, you should be able to upgrade to larger drives without issue. The DS218j supports drives of any size, as long as they are SATA-based. However, you should check the power supply if you’re considering larger drives, as some higher-capacity drives may require more power, and it's important to ensure that the power supply in your NAS can handle the increased demand when using larger drives.
