1621+ Performance increase from RAM?

[itpromike]

So I’m expecting my new 1621+ in a couple days and I blew my budget in the NAS and the drives… I can’t really afford a RAM upgrade and plan to get more next month (I’m addition to NVME drives for cache). My question is, I have 8TB from my old synology to transfer to this one and I’m dreading how long that will take - will more RAM increase the sustained transfer speed over the network that the new one is able to write/sustain?

From a pure copy paste standpoint you will be fine with the stock capacity. Considering there will be no extra service still at that point.

Running the RAM in dual-channel mode does lighten the load on the cpu though. If you are not taxing the cpu then that will not justify having 2 sticks in there but something to keep in mind as your needs grow.
