Yeah 8GB seems excessive. My Synology has 2GB of RAM and does just fine. I run multiple docker containers on it aswell.

- hestefisk 7y agoThat’s likely because Synology doesn’t offer ZFS or anything near the same capabilities.
- black3r 7y agosynology uses btrfs which provides almost the same capabilities, but ZFS usually eats all the RAM it gets as some sort of cache to speed up disk operations.
- hestefisk 7y agoYou are thinking of the ARC. By default, ZFS will allocate what is available but you can constrain it as you like.
