I have a Synology DS216Play, 2 questions.
1. Generally I need help to speed the NAS up. What can I do to improve its performance, especially around 4K videos or is this NAS too old for 4K? I use Plex and often get a message that its not powerful enough to play the video.
2. Can I add more RAM as it's the standard amount it came with (1024MB? Also, can I use a smaller SSD for the system and maybe for Plex meta data to improve it? Can I add ram and use RAM transcoding?
I have no idea how to do any of this stuff and could really do with some help or advise. If I simply need to upgrade I would consider that but if I can adjust settings or add RAM etc. that's the best for now.
Thanks for your help,
David
