QNAP NAS Community Forum

Hello there!


I would like to know if this product: " Crucial CT2KIT51264BF160B - Internal memory 8GB (4GB x 2 ) , DDR3 , 1600 MHz "

http://eu.crucial.com/ProductDisplay?ur ... reId=10152

It supports NAS " QNAP TS -251 +"

I think the specs are the same, but I'm not sure.

(Model : RAM- 4GDR3L -SO -1600 Description: QNAP 4GB 204Pin DDR3L -1600 SODIMM RAM Module EAN : 4712511125818 UPC : 885022006694)

Someone has updated the RAM of the TS-251+ with Crucial or Kingston?


Thanks in advance.

Specs look good ot me - hard to understand why a major (or at last very popular) module maker is unable to use the standard JEDEC DDR3L designation.

There are plenty of DRAM update thread for the TS-x51/x51+/x53/x53A Series already - even the CT2KIT51264BF160B is mentioned many many times. Have used search before posting?

I did that exact upgrade (using 2x8GB sticks for a total of 16GB) over the weekend. Working like a charm.

How do you know that your 251 is using the memory over and above 8GB? Have you run a memory test that shows that the entire 16GB is accessible and available to Qts?

Not sure how to do a memory test. I do have the following screenshot where I have 2 VM set up (1 Ubuntu with 4GB of allocated RAM and 1 Windows 7 machine with 5GB allocated). Still shows 6+ GB available out of a total of 14.5.

To many numbers, plenty of (obvious) wrong percent math all over in memory usage.

Here's one more. It's definitely recognizing the full 16GB, but I can't say for sure that it's able to use it.

Ive just purchased the TS-251+ and comes with 2gb, im looking to upgrade, ideally to 16gb ( although it says 8gb is the max ). How are you getting on with the upgrade ?

Working perfectly so far.

Can anyone tell me which RAM module from Transcend the 2GB TS-251+ uses? Or how I could find out? I don't want to have to open it just to find out.

I wanted to go dual channel 4GB, so I wanted to add the same 2GB module to what's in there.

Thanks.

Here's the chip that came out of my 251+

Thanks.

QNAP mentions the same size is needed for dual channel, but also recommends the same type. What do they mean by "type"?

As long as I stick in another 2GB stick, Dual Channel will work fine?

Same type == same brand, timing, and model ideally.

See above.

How do you know it's a Transcend in your NAS then?

Alright, so I'll just get a 4GB kit then. Thanks.

I knew it was Transcend because it does give me the brand, just nothing else.

Oh silly me - forgot about the new indication of the memory brand in the Control Panel.
