Synology RAM DDR4 ECC Unbuffered SODIMM 16GB (D4ES01-16G) Black

What can I say... it's RAM. For more than twice the market value since it has sticker on that says Synology. I get wanting to ensure hardware compatibility, but there's no reason to double the price. Synology recently (seemingly) learned their lesson about vendor locking drives, but I don't see them letting go of this. So let's do something about the stupid markup... Other than that it's RAM and it works. PLEX navigates faster on my 1522+ (not night and day). VMs will be happier. Install was simple. The rub just is the price...

My first NAS, figured I'd also get more memory than the default. A little (more) reseach would have led me to realize that it was overkill for my situation. And so far it is has been, though perhaps I will use more of it as I get a chance to do some other things with the NAS. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have messed with the memory until later when I knew more about what I was doing.

I purchased this before I realized how crazy the price was when compared to non-Synology brands. Fortunately I discovered this before installing it, and I returned the product. Instead I purchased equivalent memory from OWC. It cost 1/8th as much, and works great!
