How to Open Synology Diskstation DS218+ | 8GB RAM Upgrade | NAS Disassembly Disk Station DS218

Upgrading Ram on my new Synology DS218+ from 2GB to 8GB The newest version is the DS220+, since my version is 3 years old now. The 2GB that comes with the DS218+ is DDR3L 1866MHz which is a rare speed and size combo. Generally getting to 1866MHz, you get into the 4GB and 8GB sizes. I ran 1600 because I already had the RAM laying around. The difference in real world performance is slim. As of 2020, the 1600MHz isn&as readily available so the few dollar savings isn&worth it unless you already have laying around. Stick with good RAM for Synology, I tried a few sticks I had and some didn&read. Had good luck with Samsung and anything with SK Hynix on the 1600MHz.
