rickym Posted December 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2018 I have a nas emulating DS918 on a J1900 motherboard. I use it for backups and plexmedia. Right now It's running 4 gigs of ram. Is there any advantage to install more than the 4 gigs I am using now. Seems to be running fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensmander Posted December 24, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 24, 2018 Depends on how many simultaneous connections you have, requesting encoded media streams. But I think that your CPU will be the bottleneck in case of heavy use, not the RAM. Think of the original boxes and their „low“ equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickym Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted December 24, 2018 Okay thanks I think I'll stick with the 4 gigs. I've got a huge movie library and it seems to be streaming perfectly and the main other use for it is just backing up my other PCS and I'm getting real good transfer speed so no sense wasting money on more memory. Thanks for your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted December 24, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 24, 2018 Any memory that isn't being used by apps is used to cache writes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickym Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted December 24, 2018 I have two 128 gig ssds set up just for caching besides my four data discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
