Great choice had a synology for years old now but still going. I have the older model of this to the 220+ which I have at parents house as an off site backup
I got a Syno 716+ bare metal a while ago and since then have gotten another larger one, and then decided to throw in a VM instance of DSM on Proxmox as an on-site backup for the other two (works quite well for the random spare pass-through drives I had laying around). I think I should've just gotten the bare metal rack versions, but the prices just escalate from there... oh well. Please send help! 🤣

I have. the same model, i snapped in 8gb RAM (8+2) 10GB RAM , Works great .
So the 6GB memory limit isn't actually a limit?
@@Techdox nope, give it try .
I have the DS918+ it’s an excellent machine combined with Proxmox. I have 16GB Memory two 8 x 2 memory. Works outstanding..
