Does DS412+ has option to expand the RAM size?

Yes, I did it. You can only replace the existing 1GB module with a 2GB module. I used this one http://www.mini-box.com/2GB-DDR3-SODIMM and you should read completely thru this post and watch the youtube video mentioned in it. It helped me a lot. http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=140&t=55105

At the Synology forum, one user indicates that this Amazon product worked for him: Kingston ValueRam 4GB PC3-10600 L9 204-Pin SODIMM Notebook Memory KVR1333D3S9/4G.One image on the Synology web site shows the original RAM has a bright red sticker on it saying, "WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED." Some discussions that suggest that for some inexplicable reason, after upgrading memory, streaming media performance degrades, causing video stutter. You probably should Google this to get a sense of the issues.Bottom line: possible, but maybe not for the faint of heart At the Synology forum, one user indicates that this Amazon product worked for him: Kingston ValueRam 4GB PC3-10600 L9 204-Pin SODIMM Notebook Memory KVR1333D3S9/4G.One image on the Synology web site shows the original RAM has a bright red sticker on it saying, "WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED."

I have replaced my one gb stick of ram with a 2gb stick of ram. Hope that helps.

Not officialy at least, but you can read in forums about people who upgraded it successfuly. Upgrading the RAM may void Synology warranty, so be careful.DS412+ performs pretty well with 1GB though. No need to upgrade unless you have a very specific application in mind.

I was wondering the same thing . . . and can you just add a 1GB chip in that additional slot?? We have one arriving today -- so I'll check out the documentation.

The unit comes stock with Windows 8 (Home). To expand to 16 gig you need to upgrade it to Win 8 Pro, but its easy to do, just buy a key for Win 8 Pro and enter it in the appropriate screen and it will upgrade what is needed and the laptop will then recognize 16 gig. Hope this helps

This model can support up to 16GB. There are two RAM slots, one is occupied by 1x8GB leaving a second one open for upgrade.

imI'm not sure if the memory is expandable, I refuse to purchase anything else for this item!

maximum ram limit is 4gb, can't increase. there is another model S3-391-6497 which is upgradable.

No. The question is not whether your system can use the SDRAM, the issue is your system will not support more than 2 GB as configured.

Yeah Dude, it isn't your DS411, look elsewhere. Mine gets used for multiple simultaneous video streaming without any issues. I'm using 4 x 1 Terabyte WD Reds.

Some users from Notebook Review and GenTech confirm it can be expanded to 16GB. http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/677457-asus-n56vz-16gb-ram-thread-4.html

I have no idea if it has additional slots for more RAM, check with Dell.............

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.

48GB RAM = 4GB x 12 Slot. The problem is, it might only run dual channel if you use a lot of RAM.

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

Yes, Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit* systemsSupports up to 32 GB on 64-bit systems

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.
