Memory Upgrade on TS 251A

[Ericnepean]

I have seen other comments that Crucial RAM is sometimes causing a problem.
I have 8GB Kingston RAM in my TS251A, with the same drives and SW as you, no issues.

Dang, that **.. I have a bunch of extra Crucial ram already that I could use and I'd hate to have to go buy a different brand. thanks!

Is this the right one?

Hello,

Any news on these ones ?
I tried today to upgrade the RAM of my TS251A with 2x4Gb from crucial : CT2KIT51264BF160B
And it does not work for me neither... The FAN is turning but no lights come up and the NAS won’t start.

Maybe I will try to exchange theses RAMs with the Kingston but I would like to be sure I will be picking the right ones now ...

Same thing is happening to me right now. Just put in a 2X 4GB Crucial kit and same results. Fan goes, hard drives spin but will not boot and no lights will come on in the front. I wish I had known about this thread before I ordered.....

Hi,

They work like a charm! Great RAM for a cool price!

Hello,

In this thread, Kingston KVR16LS11 works for you and another guy, but not for me I have TS-251a and I bought 2 modules 4Gb each KVR16LS11/4. Once installed, hd and fan spins, but no single light or bip happens, NAS don't turn on. I tried 1 module alone and both toghether, but same behaviour. Back to original ram (2x 1gb) turns on perfectly.

It is something I can do? I can't understand, I read here and other forums people with this NAS and this memory working perfectly at the very first installation, how can be this???

It does not work. The NAS turns on but resets all the time, no light goes on either. If I put the memory back, everything is going well. If I put a single module of 8 GB either. I tested the memory in a laptop and it goes great.

Wow

Hola conseguiste solucionar el problema? voy a ponerme 8GB en el mismo NAS y antes quería saber si te funciono con la memoria crucial. Gracias

Hi there, first post but have used this forum since i got my TS-251A last year. Upgraded to 8GB ram using the Crucial kit noted above with no issues so far. Going to attempt to run two RLC-420-5MP Reolink IP cams.

Thought I would share my initial success.

I bought SO-DIMM DDR3L KIT HyperX IMPACT 2x8GB 16GB KIT (HX316LS9IBK2/16).
Works well, no problem.
TS-251A, QTS 4.4.1.1031

Have a nice day.

I've just bought one module of the kingston KVR16LS11/4. I'll let you know how it works.
I don't think I'm gonna need more than 4GB (I don't have any VM). However, I'm thinking about keeping one of the original ADATA 1GB RAM module, so I'll have 5GB RAM total. Am I crazy? Should I only use the exact same modules (or at lease, the same size)?

[dolbyman]

it might work, it might not

my TVS-951X has a 2GB and 8GB module in it .. works like a charm (10GB)

no matter what you do , always keep your original RAM (if not in the NAS then at least in a safe place) otherwise QNAP will refuse support with 3rd party RAM

Got it. I guessed that. I have the original RAM labeled as QNAP ram safely stored away.

KVR16LS11/4 works like a charm BY IT SELF. I've tried to put the two modules (the new one and one of the original ones) and the NAS doesn't start up. Fan and HDD starts, but no LEDs and NAS is not accessible. I had to remove the 1GB module in order for it to work.
I've only tried to put the new 4GB module in the slot closer to the board (you need to remove the other ram module to access it) and the original 1GB in the slot further to the board (the first one to have access to). I don't know if the order of the modules is important. Is it?
