ou are right to question the value of the official Synology module. Going from 2GB to 6GB helps, but it is not great value when you can get a much larger boost for the same money.
Both modules you mentioned are known to work in the DS224+:
Crucial CT8G4S266M
Crucial CT16G4SFRA32A
The DS224+ tops out unofficially at 16GB, and this Crucial 16GB module is the one most people use. You may see a small warning in DSM because it is not Synology branded, but the NAS runs normally and the performance difference compared with 6GB is very noticeable, especially if you use Photos, Docker, or run multiple packages.
So if the budget allows, the 16GB Crucial option is the best upgrade for this model.
