Yes, sometimes simple things can cause the most frustration.Synology RAM is fairly expensive therefore people often choose Crucial memory as an alternative. Synology sometimes will show a warning message that you do not use their RAM. But this does not affect performance.Also, there is no reason to upgrade above 6-8GB without a real use for it such as virtual machines or docker. Simply having more RAM does not speed up the performance.Adding SSD cache would help, especially if you have many users connecting or if you access the same files on daily bases or even run a web server or similar.The best SSD would e form Synology, but Samsung Evo Plus is my choice.I hope this helps.
