528x ram/memory upgrades

I am looking to upgrade the ram in my 528x, currently with the stock 4g.

Has anyone upgraded theirs yet?

Is there a list of compatible ram or details/specifics somewhere?

also considering upgrade to 628x, does it use the same ram?

I'd like to get at least 32gig ram going, I have a huge plex library and a several apps running in the background and want to provide plenty of additional ram for caching and reducing my load averages and avoiding swap use.

I've already disabled unneeded services and protocols to help reduce load, but I need some breathing room.

The 600 series can use a higher speed RAM than the 500 series

RN526X/RN528X: 4 memory slots (Max: 64GB), support up to DDR4-1866
RN626X/RN628X: 4 memory slots (Max: 64GB), support up to DDR4-2133

We don’t support upgrading the RAM. You do so at your own risk. Be sure to run the memory test after replacing the RAM.

  Thanks for the reply!
  
  does either 528x or 628x come with, and/or support ECC ram?

    Yes they come with ECC RAM and that’s what you should use if you do decide to replace the RAM.
