Everything you need to know about Upgrading Synology NAS Memory
Perhaps you have purchased a new Synology NAS system and want to future-proof it a bit? Perhaps you have an older generation Diskstation/Rackstation NAS that is now showing the occasional signs of slow down in your day-to-day processes? There are lots of reasons why you might want to upgrade the memory on your NAS drive. Luckily, the bulk of Synology NAS systems factor this in, with the option to upgrade the initial default RAM with more memory modules. That said, the scope to which you can upgrade can differ wildly from one Synology NAS to another – both in terms of the maximum amount of memory you can scale towards and the supported/compatible memory you need to use (e.g DDR3 or DDR4? SODIMM or RDIMM?). Luckily Synology provides a wide range of official memory upgrades that can be purchased from numerous retailers online, however, they are arguably more expensive than the 3rd party equivalents (see example below). Now, there could be a few good reasons for this. Firstly, these memory sticks are first-party and specifically selected to work on the Synology NAS systems (taking alot of the searching out of it for people in researching speeds, frequencies and supported PIN numbers), and officially branded components for any hardware manufacturer are always pricier. Next, they do not have the rotation of stock that Crucial or Kingston has and therefore, the flexibility in pricing they might have is not available. Lastly, the Synology memory will often be ECC memory (especially in recent released NAS systems by them) and ECC memory always commands a higher price. However, given this memory is likely manufactured by a 3rd party, that does make it a little painful sometimes for smaller Synology NAS users who look at official memory and its often 2-3x pricepoint of equivalent modules from Kingston, Crucial and Smasung. So, in this guide we talk about upgrading your memory with both official and unofficial memory, what happens when you do and if there are risks to factor in.
Do you Need to Upgrade the Memory on your Synology NAS?
If you have bought or are considering buying a new Synology NAS and it has an accessible RAM slot (such as at the base of the device in the DS1821+ or tucked into the side of the HDD bays as found in the DS920+) slot then it is incredibly easy to buy a DDR3 or DDR4 memory module and upgrade the RAM during the initialization of the NAS. Crucial RAM is remarkably cheap these days and if you’re buying a Synology NAS model that can be upgraded, the user will almost certainly grow to benefit from the RAM. If you’ve been using the NAS for a while, you can check your memory usage using the Resource Monitor found next to all your other applications. Like most modern operating systems, Synology Disk Station Manager (DSM 6.2, DSM 7.0 or DSM 7.1 depending on your choice) will maximize memory performance so the amount of “free memory” may seem unusually small. Fear not, this is because of the way Synology have geared their OS to be as smooth as possible and DSM will keep old information in memory, for as long as possible, for faster access if it’s needed again in the near future. It can then see when you need further memory for more current concerns and then free up the memory if needed.
In order to genuinely work out if your NAS drive needs more memory, you will need to utilise your Synology device for a while and look at the Memory Monitor during a time of heavy access and usage. Make sure all the apps are running, being accessed/monitored and run all the software, media streams and backups that you normally would on a daily basis. Look at the utilization percentage, not free memory – as this will give you a much, MUCH better understanding of the memory that is required. The reason for this is that the resource monitor will exclude memory buffers and caching that DSM knows it can free up later. If the percentage is near 100%, then you will definitely, definitely need to upgrade in order to future proof as you will clearly you’ll benefit from more memory in your Synology NAS.
Another cool tip (thank you OSQuest) is that you should also change the “Type” filter at the top right of the resource monitor to Swap at look at its genuine utilization. If it’s not showing 0, then you are running out of physical memory at frequent times and Synology DSM is swapping to disk which hurts performance for all applications and users. Adding more memory will avoid this and improve performance across the board!
How to Upgrade Synology NAS RAM
Let’s get down to business. First off, it is hugely important that you know that replacing the factory RAM will likely void the manufacturer’s warranty. So if you have purchased a new Synology NAS with the intent to upgrade the default memory, be sure to run it for a week or so without upgrading first to field test the NAS and make sure there are no pre-existing hardware problems. You can upgrade with OFFICIAL Synology memory, which will not invalidate your warranty, however, it is worth mentioning that Synology official memory is more expensive than the Crucial or Kingston memory counterparts. Pretty much all the Synology Desktop NAS drives are upgraded the same, so you can watch my RAM Upgrade of the Synology DS923+ NAS below:
Upgrading the memory is often very simple indeed and simply a case of powering down the device, installing the new memory modules in the NAS (as long as you have access to them), then booting up the device. It may take a little longer than before to boot, as the new memory will be initialized, but you will not need to do any software configuration and the newly installed memory should appear in the resource monitor for immediate use.
IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ!!!!
Although the Synology NAS memory upgrade process is very easy, it is also very easy to get wrong! It is worth remembering the following points
- Some Synology units have the RAM soldered onto the main internal board, so upgrading these will be impossible (without careful and tricky soldering which will no doubt void the warranty. Examples of Synology NAS that cannot have memory upgrades are DS120j, DS420J, RS422+ and DS223 NAS to name but a few.
- If you are upgrading memory, it is always recommended to ‘pair’ the memory. So you should always have 2 equally sized (capacity) sticks of RAM in the slots. It is not necessarily the end of the world too, for example, mix a 2GB and 4GB Memory module (Synology themselves offer this as an official upgrade), but it is generally frowned upon.
- It is always worth checking your CPU or internal architecture in advance on the Synology NAS, as it may well limit the maximum amount of memory you can install. Sometimes you can exceed this (i.e. the DS1520+ with its Intel J4125 CPU has an official limit of 8GB and an unofficial limit of 16GB), but if in doubt, use my free advice section on the right of this page and ask me first.
Important Considerations about Synology NAS and Unofficial Memory Upgrades
Now, let’s get serious real quick. A Synology NAS does not occupy the same importance in your hardware environment as a TV, sound system or even day-to-day PC. A NAS system will often be one of many backups of ALL your data! Therefore exercising caution on how your upgrade/tinker with it can have more dire consequences than simply breaking it – it can lead to the potential loss of genuinely irreplaceable photos, videos and more. Therefore if you are looking at upgrading the memory of your NAS drive and using hardware that is not on a recommended list by the manufacturer, you need to make sure you have your backups in order – have at least two backups (i.e 2 complete copies of your data OUTSIDE of the original file – one on your phone and one on a NAS only means ONE copy!). Additionally, if/when you install ANY new memory, it is highly recommended that you run a quick(ish) memory test using the desktop Synology Assistant application (for Windows/Mac) so that the NAS can check that the memory is good-to-go. Be warned, this process can take several hours (a relatively simple 2GB Transcend DDR4 2400Mhz SODIMM module in a DS920+ in my testing for a YouTube video took just over 1 HOUR and 40 MINUTES) and during that time, access to the NAS is largely impossible (plus the system will re-boot at least once). So ensure you do this during a quicker/downtime moment for your network. Below is a brief overview of where the Memory Test setting of Synology Assistant is and how to enable it:
So, let’s discuss 3rd party memory, Synology NAS and DSM 7.1 on some of the brand’s most popular systems for home/prosumer users – as it is these users who are less inclined to choose the official memory route.
Choosing the Right Memory for a Synology NAS Upgrade
So, you have decided to upgrade the Memory/RAM on your Synology NAS. It is worth mentioning that different NAS drives require different memory types. All too often there are factors that are as follows:
- DDR3 – Easily the most common, this is a memory module that runs at 1600Mhz
- DDR3L – A revision of DDR3, this memory runs at 1866Mhz
- DDR4 – A Newer and high-frequency memory that is available to more modern CPU that runs at between 2133Mhz and 2400Mhz
- ECC – Error Correcting Code Memory, this is a memory module that makes comparisons of data packets as they pass through the memory at the start and finish to ensure they are identical. If not, this memory will automatically heal the file and keep it moving
- SO-DIMM – This is a smaller module of memory and traditionally found in smaller NAS that are 4/5-Bays and smaller. Generally available in upto 16GB in DDR3 and 32GB in DDR4. Larger sizes are available, but not supported in most NAS drives due to CPU memory limits. Outside of NAS, this kind of Memory is found in Laptops and portable hardware
- LONG-DIMM / DIMM – Full-length memory modules that are twice the length of SO-DIMM, typically found in NAS devices of 8-Bay Desktop upwards, or most Rackmount NAS servers. Also available in much, MUCH bigger capacities in both DDR3 and DDR4 in NAS We are even starting to see DDR5 in large enterprise NAS servers too. Outside of NAS, this is easily the most commonly used NAS DIMM size.
Can I still use Unofficial/3rd Party Memory in DSM 7.1/7.2?
In short, yes, 3rd Party memory still works in Synology DSM 7.1. However, it also leads to DSM 7.1 displaying a warning notification in the software highlighting the use of an unsupported memory. There is also the fact that the brand might become less able to assist you in any warranty claims from reasonable system hardware failure if the issue can be stemmed in any way to memory. Now, when Synology released the latest revision of their software, DSM 7.1, there were some reports online of users stating that their system would no longer boot with 3rd party memory installed. Although I tested this on the NASCompares YouTube channel with mixed results, I have since RE-TESTED this (on the heavy request of users who did not experience any issues, who queried the results) and in that follow-up testing, ALL 3rd party memory modules worked (video embedded later in the article below). So, it looks confirmed that unofficial/3rd party memory STILL WORKS in DSM 7.1 at the time of writing, which means users still have a choice of choosing the 3rd party RAM route or sticking with the officially provided and branded memory. Below is a range of 10 different modules being tested with DSM 7.1 that was conducted in May 2022:
Is Upgrading the Memory on a Synology NAS worth it?
Many users will avoid updating default Memory on a Synology NAS server while it is still under warranty – thinking that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. However, If you are buying a Synology NAS that supports an official or unofficial user memory upgrade, there’s almost no reason not to do the upgrade. There are practically no disadvantages (none at all, if you buy official Synology Memory) and the benefits will be immediate. You can always wait till later on an upgrade when you notice a drop in performance, however, I would keep an eye on deal websites for your compatible DDR3 or DDR4 Synology NAS supported memory and then grab some when a bargain appears. I do wish some lower capacity NAS’ drives, such as the DS119j, DS218j and DS416slim (that arrive with much less memory soldered to the motherboard than their CPU can handle at maximum) were able to have their memory upgraded, as this becomes a tremendous bottleneck. There are cases where two drive bays are enough in terms of total available storage space (especially with 14TB Seagate and 16TB Toshiba NAS drives in-coming), so you will be able to run a lot of applications, for multiple users, but the rather comical 256MB, 512MB and 1GB memory available in these budget models is just not enough to run DSM to its full potential on these NAS and the result will be that most users will walk away with a very poor opinion of the Synology NAS experience.
Picking The Right Official/Unofficial RAM for Your Synology NAS
Synology lists the RAM compatible with each user-upgradeable model on their website. You can use this information to get the RAM specifications for your model Synology and then shop around for your preferred memory brand or a good price. Additionally, I have included lines to the third party crucial supported memory for a Synology NAS. Always be sure to check the compatibility before making your purchase, as Synology may have revised the hardware (see examples like the DS216+ and DS216+II).
VERY IMPORTANT – The Links used in the article below towards the correct unofficial memory are occasionally changed (beyond my control) as it will direct you to the site in your own region/country. MAKE SURE to check that the memory module (especially 16 and 32GB SODIMM modules) are DUAL RANK or ‘DR‘, as Synology NAS typically have trouble with SR/SINGLE RANK modules.
