Choosing the Right Memory for your Synology and QNAP NAS [ Ссылка ]

A network attached storage device, or NAS, is very similar to a regular desktop computer in so many ways. The Architecture of the NAS device in terms of hardware has not changed a great deal between the two, with both still featuring a motherboard, CPU, hard drives and, of course, memory. The memory, or RAM as it’s more commonly known, is the part of the NAS that is dedicated to handling random and incidental instances of data use. In real terms that means that it is the part of the computer that dictates how many programs or tasks or actions can be handled at any given time by the NAS system. Sure, the CPU dictates the power of the machine, but think of the memory as the extent to which (and the frequency of) the tasks can perform. All NAS devices arrive with a portion of memory includes, typically in the form of Gigabytes, and generally around 1-4GB to compliment the CPU and ensure smooth running for general use. But what about extensive use? Specialised use? tasks that require enhanced rendering (creation)not graphics or those that require many, many users to access the NAS at once? It is for reasons such as these that many users look at upgrading their NAS drive with more memory, often doubling, trebling or quadrupling the existing RAM inside to push performance.
