Synology DDR4 RAM (ECC)
Following up on last June's Synology DDR4 RAM post, the 21-series launch added two ECC SO-DIMMs, the D4ES01-4G and D4ES01-8G. Notably, Synology dropped the '2666' from the naming of these newer D4ES01 modules.

Memory upgrades, from NAS RAM to desktop DDR kits.
Crucial RAM For QNAP NAS
The QNAP TS-453D ships with only 4GB of RAM, too little for containers or virtual machines. I upgraded with a Crucial 8GB DDR4 2666 SODIMM, bought from Amazon.sg during a Black Friday sale for S$31.08.
Synology DDR4 RAM
Synology's DDR4 RAM has long targeted businesses, but the consumer DS20 Plus series finally makes it relevant. Having bought Synology DDR3 for my DS918+, I picked up DDR4 to expand my new DS920+ beyond its 4GB.
G.Skill Trident Z Neo Series 32GB RAM
On Benjamin's advice I went AMD with the Ryzen 7 3700X, pairing it with G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB. Since Ryzen favours fast, low-latency memory, I chose this 3,600MHz CL16 kit over a 3,200MHz CL14, at US$184.99.
Synology DDR3 RAM
Not many realise Synology makes its own brand of RAM, which it recommends for full compatibility and reliability. Made in Taiwan with a three-year warranty, it comes in SO-DIMM for prosumers and ECC modules for enterprise users.
