Will TS-x73A work with 128GB RAM?

I possess both a TS-473A and a TS-673A, and while the hardware specifications permit an upgrade to 64GB RAM, I am curious if anyone has attempted upgrading to 128GB RAM.

Given the current high cost of memory, I am hesitant to purchase 128GB RAM solely to discover that it is incompatible with the device.

Thanks :slight_smile:

AMD spec sheet says 64GB

Hello,

you can’t buy a SO-DIMM DDR4 with more than 32 GB, becauce 32 GB is the largest SO-DIMM DDR4 you can find.

Didn’t even think of this .. as DDR5 has 64GB sticks

I know that :slight_smile: However, I’m also aware that some have done something, and not just on QNAP systems, even though as Becker2020 says, largest DDR4 SODIMM is 32GB. :slight_smile:

Do you have any links where they have done this on dual RAM slot equipped embedded Ryzen units ?

No, I do not. I was informed about this topic through a demonstration, and the RAM upgrade discussion was also present in the same thread. However, I was unable to locate the link, which is why I am attempting this method.

So if 32GB is the biggest DDR4 SO-DIMM available, then there’s not much of a way to get beyond 64GB. I would say the Ryzen Embedded series CANNOT use DDR5 memory. Memory is very specific to the processor type. So I would not waste my time even trying.

Is there a reason you want to go larger than 64 Gig? That’s a lot of memory…

I was just curious because I didn’t have time to dive into the whole discussion, and since I saw it on someone else’s phone, I couldn’t track down the link. So, I was hoping someone had also read it and could share the link or what and how it was done, since there were visible hardware mods.

That is exactly what I am trying to find :slight_smile: Someone showed me something else on Reddit, and there was a post about this, and I figured, “Okay, it’s QNAP, so I’ll just find it.” But it seems like it’s proving to be a bit more challenging than I thought :cry:

Just because someone on Reddit says it is possible doesn’t make it so.

Thus my question :wink:

Well, to reiterate:

If the latest size of SO-DIMM for DDR4 memory is 32 GB, I’m no entirely sure how someone is expanding their system larger than 64 GB. So I don’t know how it is possible even if the CPU would support it. QNAP only offers two slots.
