FAQ
What Synology models is this memory kit compatible with?
This Axiom memory kit is specifically compatible with Synology DiskStation models DS1515+, DS1815+, DS2015XS, and DS2415+, as well as RackStation models RS2416+, RS2416RP+, RS815+, and RS815RP+. These models support DDR3L SODIMM memory modules and can benefit from the additional 16GB capacity for improved NAS performance.
What is the advantage of DDR3L over standard DDR3 memory?
DDR3L memory operates at 1.35V compared to the standard 1.5V for regular DDR3 modules. This lower voltage reduces power consumption by approximately 15-20%, resulting in lower operating costs and reduced thermal output. DDR3L maintains full compatibility with systems designed for low-voltage memory while offering the same performance characteristics as standard DDR3 at the same speed ratings.
Can this memory kit be used in systems other than Synology NAS?
While specifically tested for Synology NAS compatibility, this memory kit uses standard DDR3L SODIMM modules that may be compatible with other systems that support DDR3L memory at 1600 MHz speed. The SODIMM form factor is designed for notebook and compact systems. However, compatibility should be verified with the specific system manufacturer before installation.
What does the PC3L-12800 designation mean?
PC3L-12800 refers to the module's theoretical peak transfer rate of 12,800 MB/s. The 'PC3L' indicates it's a low-voltage DDR3 module (1.35V), while '12800' represents the maximum bandwidth in megabytes per second. This corresponds to the 1600 MHz speed rating, with the calculation being 1600 MHz × 8 bytes (64-bit data path) = 12,800 MB/s theoretical maximum bandwidth.
Is this memory ECC or registered memory?
This Axiom memory kit uses standard non-ECC, unbuffered memory modules. It does not include Error-Correcting Code (ECC) functionality or registered/buffered design. The modules are designed for systems that require standard DDR3L SODIMM memory without ECC or registered features, which is typical for the compatible Synology NAS models and many notebook systems.
What is the benefit of the dual-module (2 x 8GB) configuration?
The dual-module configuration enables dual-channel memory architecture when installed in compatible systems with two or more memory slots. Dual-channel operation can potentially double the available memory bandwidth compared to single-module installations by allowing simultaneous access to two memory modules. This configuration is particularly beneficial for memory-intensive applications and can improve overall system responsiveness.
