I wont be running video center or any other transcoding services. Do I still lose 500mb with ts-233?

In summary 1GB of ram seems to be just too little for QTS 5.1.0 even just running basic stuff. TS-228A would be more than ok with expanded memory but that's not possible.

have to think about ts-233, do not really need much more bells and whistles than that and only have a 1G LAN and I'm practically the only one using the NAS.

But thanks for all the insight!
with qboost you can flush out the ram so you don't have to reboot to achieve the same result (in my past experience with this app, you had to run it a few times to do the trick)

but if you notice mem swap later on, then that is not a good sign.

just monitor for now and make sure that the ram issue is solved :'

I have never used Qboost (no need) but in order to free RAM, wouldn't it shuffle stuff into swap ?
