ds1821+

#1
Just about to order ds1821+ (I want the ds1823xs+ but don't like the limitations, you can talk me out of it, the hdd's won't change though)
(also, for ds1821+ I'm thinking Noctua, is that necessary whit ds1823xs+ swell?) with exes x16 16tb drives, dual 10gbe pie card and ram upgrade.

Should I opt for 64 over 32 gb of memory.
I'm going unofficial on my own risk and should I put name cache? For 128tb that would require BIG name's to complement that so please advice on those.

I would LOVE to be able to use the name's as pool, if I can, please advice on how and what to get. As big as possible.

Then for the raid itself, should I do 5, 6, ser or shr2. I guess im fine with the size for this build, so no changes in capacity. I don't plan on running any features except moving data, hopefully edit straight from nas and to set up cloud services for my clients so they have access to deliverys etc.

You may find these posts usefull if you plan on 3rd party RAM anyways :

Otherwise answering your questions. More RAM do not mean better speeds. Unless you plan to use all of it.
SHR is good for HDD drive mixing. But with fully filled NAS RAID5 makes more sense. Or preferably RAID6 with an 8bay.
