I just got my hands on some very cheap 16GB DDR3 ECC memory sticks and I am wondering if it is worthwhile to upgrade the memory in my NAS. My specs are listed in my signature. I currently have 24GB of RAM in a 6 x 4GB configuration. I could upgrade to 96GB in the same slots with these new sticks. My current use case is as an SD/HD/4K storage and streaming server, application and ISO storage, along with Plex and SabNZBD duties. I rarely use Plex and tend to just stream media directly over my network using Windows filesharing and MPC-HC. I use SabNZBD several times a day. I am not sure if this is relevant, but I have a 10Gbe connection to the server from my desktop for faster file sharing. It's not really getting pounded too often and I assume 24GB is more than enough for my use case, but I was curious what you guys think. Would I see any benefits moving to 96GB?
