Hello,
I have been using my Synology NAS DS720+ without any issues for past 3 years with default 2GB RAM. Now I started to experiment with docker a bit and with couple of containers running I started to run out of memory. I have read all the articles regarding the RAM upgrade and compatible modules and I aware of the risk and benefits :-) But what is not clear to me:
1. If I buy a 16GB tested stick, should I replace the default one with that or not? Or can I leave the 2GB there and add 16GB to free slot to have 18GB in total?
2. In some of the articles you mentioned that you recommend to install two same sticks at once. Should I understand it as Synology NAS supports Dual-Channel? So it is better to install 2x8GB instead 1x16GB?
Many thanks in advance
Tomas
