What is the exact memory configuration (make, model, size sms quantity) you used since your earlier posts indicate that you tried the KSM26SED8/16ME and got the warning ... a Reddit users post here indicates they tried the same model (2 x 16GB) and it worked, without the warning messages so keen to find out what differences may be?Hi @BoosterT...
On the good side, the RAM is recognised; it also passes the memory test in the Synology Assistant app in Windows.
On the bad side, they are clever enough to put a Notification up after a reboot to remind you of your naughtiness in using non-official RAM.
That irritates me personally. The sort of thing that could make me change next time to a non-Synology solution. It is cheap easy profit, trying to force people to buy their own over priced 'extras' to the basic NAS you buy.
Rant over. Conclusion: It works for me!
As much as I agree with @BoosterT, would like to say that nvme will come in handy while working with repeating a large number of smaller files that are accessed often. One example would be Plex server DB and metadata.and 2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 500GB M.2 for the unit
Hi @ninja888,What is the exact memory configuration (make, model, size sms quantity) you used since your earlier posts indicate that you tried the KSM26SED8/16ME and got the warning ... a Reddit users post here indicates they tried the same model (2 x 16GB) and it worked, without the warning messages so keen to find out what differences may be?
Thanks very much, @Rusty ! I'm a huge Plex user with multiple clients, etc., so that is good info to know. Think I'm going to go ahead and get both the 2 M.2's (hopefully 500gb each is enough) and 1 16gb RAM chip to increase the memory to 20gb. I also still need to buy a new switch to support Link Aggregation, so am curious if that really does make a big difference in throughput from a Plex perspective if I hookup all 4 network cables to it (and also over the network to my mac mini for reading/writing to it). Thanks again.As much as I agree with @BoosterT, would like to say that nvme will come in handy while working with repeating a large number of smaller files that are accessed often.

If your nvme cache would be attached to a volume with plex data files on you will notice a great boost while accessing the server and browsing the libraries especially from multiple clients/users. In general, it would be beneficial for any service that you will use that has any database type needs or a large number of frequently used data that can be cached.
Ofc, you can also add these later on just like RAM, so no need to get it out the gate on day 1, just saying.
From personal experience, having Plex running with HDD+nvme cache has proven to be much faster than without a cache volume and also about the same while running it on a pure SSD volume as well.
LAG will be beneficial when "attacking" your NAS from multiple clients at the same time. With 4x1G setup you will have a situation where each of the 4 clients that are talking with your NAS will have a dedicated 1G lane. In the case of let's say 2 clients at the same time each will again get a single 1G lane.so am curious if that really does make a big difference in throughput from a Plex perspective if I hookup all 4 network cables to it (and also over the network to my mac mini for reading/writing to it).
A bit off topic.
I've never had this warning and there is no Synology RAM on board. Go figure.At least we know the RAM warning can be overcome at the hardware level.
