I have a DS920+ which I haven’t upgraded the ram for, so it still has the default 4GB on it. Reading around, it sounds like Synology only supports adding an additional 4GB for it, but some other sites mention putting an additional 8 or 16 into it.

Has anyone upgraded theirs with more ram? What have you added and what were your experiences?

    I added another 32GB to my 923+ recently. Looking around, I found that speicher.de (German shop specializing in RAM) offers RAM for specific Diskstation models beyond Synology's specification, and they guarantee you that it's going to be working! (They call this "overRAMing"). For the DS920+, you can find the offered RAM sizes here. I have had zero problems, my NAS now has 36 GB RAM, shows no errors or warnings, and I'll probably upgrade it to overall 64 GB sometime. And my 218+ runs with 10 GB RAM since several years without any issues or warnings. Rather the opposite: in both cases, the difference was tremendous, it felt like entirely new (much faster) devices. I can highly recommend.
