Hello! Big fan here; been following your YouTube channel for a couple of years since I bought my Synology 920+ when it came out, and watch a lot of the videos you post there.
I am currently using the 920+ for both home and business, and I would like to migrate the Virtual Machine, where I run my company's ERP server, onto the NAS. I tried importing the ova and running it in the Synology Virtual Machine Manager, but it consumed all memory available (4GB) and essentially froze the box.
Understanding that my available options to upgrade the hardware are essentially RAM and NVME Cache, I have a couple of questions:
1. Regarding the RAM, I have decided to go with a 16GB SODIMM. Should I go with Dual Rank or Single Rank memory? What is better for my use case? From what I read online, single rank produces less heat and may improve performance marginally. But I don't know if for my use case it just doesn't matter?
2. Will I see a marked performance improvement if I add NVME cache? Only when reading/writing a lot of small files?
What is your opinion?
Thank you!
