can we add RAM to these drives so to get better speeds as discription says "RAM Size: 1GB?DDR3 (Expandable, up to 3GB)

Not sure which unit you are referring to, but for my Synology NAS, which was a 1812, I was able to install additional RAM to bring it up to 3GB. So in general yes, if they come with X amount of RAM installed and note that they are expandable beyond that, then it is a user installable option to add more RAM to the Synology NAS. It was pretty simple in mine, had to remove the over and locate the position of the RAM modules.

The performance of the unit is mostly based on the processing power of the box and the number of spindles (hard drives). Adding memory will only increase the speed if you have a lot of applications running on the box, and you have memory contention. With DSM 5.x they have done some memory tweaking to even help with that. Adding (2) SSD Drives, 128GB (Samsung 840 pro) would be your best bet of seeing significant performance gains.

yes, it comes with 1GB hidden somewhere inside. you can add a 2GB dimm for a total of 3.please be careful, these are not standard sized 240-pin DDR3 dimms. they are smaller laptop size.They have a list of compatible ram. you don't HAVE to buy their overpriced one from the website.More ram won't increase disk access speed. it will increase how many apps you can run on the synology. If you want to increase disk access speeds, you'll have to find your bottleneck. HD RPM? SSD Cache? Ethernet port bonding? all more likely to improve file transfer speed than adding ram.

Yes there is a dimm slot to add memory to the unit. Not sure if it will increase speeds, but it would allow you to run more apps on the sydtem

Never tried, but there's nothing preventing this, except, perhaps, finding the correct kind of memory module for the board. You'll have to find the correct module on the Internet, or just disassembling it to read the model/specs on the module.

Hard drive is 7mm SATA3 type with 6Gbps bandwidth, also you can use mSATA slot for expansion

Yes, these will work great. DDR3 ram will work with any DDR3 motherboard (which you have)! Nice combo BTW.

I dont think these work well with 32gb try out a 16gb.. Format it then see if it comes up...

That truly depends on how much you are presently using on your 250 now. How much do you really need. That is a question that only you can answer. I downsized quite a bit and don't miss the extra at all. I do really appreciate the speed of the solid state drive.

I don't think i have what you're looking for, I have 2 gigs of ram operating at 3200 speed. the #'s are KVR400AK2/2GR. Hope that helps

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

Yes, I installed 16 GB from Kingston. It states the max is 8 GB but it will take more.

Unless the drives don't conform to standard 3.5mm HDD sizes, they should be fine. Realistically, you're more likely to be limited by the motherboard, sata controller, or OS than you are by the case.

Go to crucial.com and run the "Crucial System Scanner" this will tell you what hard drives and RAM is compatible with your system. I hope this helps. Rick

Hard drives DO have RAM that is used as a buffer between the disk drive and the computer. This one would probably have about 32 to 64 MB of RAM.

My suggestion is to go to the merchandiser Crucial Ram.They have a program which analyses your computer and will tell you what types of RAM are compatible. In general though my rule of thumb is that if it fits properly in the slot it will work (ie the computer will recognize the extra RAM)but that doesn't mean if your run a benchmark test before and after the installation that it will speed your computer up. The computer will default to the speed of the slower RAM.

Be careful which RAM you buy. On some vendor's forums I read where many problems were caused by the vendor recommending the wrong part#. Check Kingston or Crucial's sites for the correct item #before ordering any RAM.

Yes it is expandable to 32 GB of RAM, but make sure you get the exact same type and speed of memory that is already in it, which in mine is DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)
1527247
Yes. You can use up to 32 gigs of 1600mhz non ecc DDR3. I have this ram and will always use kingston.

You can add more memory, but there are only 2 hard drive slots. You'll just be able to upgrade to higher capacity hard drives, but can't add more.

This is not RAM. Of course Disk transfer speed is included in part of your score Windows Experience Index. I would guess this would rate a 5.4 or so.
