About this deal

Reconnect the cables you removed in step 1, and then press and hold the power button to turn on your DiskStation. When using SSD storage, it's essential to ensure that the TRIM command is turned on. Else the drive might run out of life very fast. Also, you don't want to mix SSDs and regular hard drives in the same volume (storage pool). Remove the four drive trays and you will see a pre-installed memory module and an empty slot for memory expansion.

Each Synology server model comes with a specific CPU, and you can't change that -- most of the time, the CPU is soldered on the motherboard.It's worth noting that if you're upgrading the network port during the initial setup of a server, you must use the server's built-in Gigabit port for the process. The upgraded port is only available after the operating system has been installed. Synology server upgrade: System memory (RAM) More bays means more potential storage space and more options. Generally, a 4-bay and 5-bay are the sweet spots -- you get the best combo of performance and capacity. Unlike the DS1618+, which is entirely tool-free, the DS620slim requires a screwdriver for drive installation. That's not a huge deal and quite understandable -- 2.5-inch drives are just too small to secure with a latch. Furthermore, Synology includes a small bag of screws for the job. On the other hand, higher grades (XS or XS+) are more restrictive in hardware support, and they only use standard RAIDs. Generally, these servers are suitable for large business or enterprise applications. Digital storage and management manufacturer Synology recently announced a new 6-bay Network Attached Storage enclosure in its Slim range that is designed to be compact and lightweight while still offering good performance. The DS620Slim accepts 2.5" SSD or HDD media – with its six bays filled with 5TB drives it can provide a total of 30TB of storage.

You have now concluded the physical installation of 16GB of Crucial memory in the Synology DS620slim and you need to replace the base panel, like so: SSD caching via NVMe slot (in select servers) or SATA SSD is generally unnecessary for most homes. It's better to use SSD as storage instead. Ideally, you get Synology-branded or approved RAM, which is expensive. Alternatively, you can get compatible hardware from a third party.

How to Add a Memory Module to DiskStation

Generally, you want to get a model that can still run the latest version of the OS. DSM 7 supports all servers from the model year 2013, but DSM 7.1, which is the current latest release, requires the model year 2015 or newer.
