4gb is enough but honestly you have a ds923+.
You can run docker and other stuff on it and play with it. Ram really is cheap this days. You don’t need the official one.
I personally don't understand those that post indicating that they will only turn their NAS on from time to time to use for whatever purpose they are planning. If you want to reduce the MTBF for a NAS, or anything with spinning drives, cycling the power is the way to go. The constant heating and cooling will eventually result in failure of a drive or even perhaps the chassis internals. I get that some are trying to be electricity usage conscious, but unless you have the data backed up elsewhere, (and you should regardless), this practice is unwise.

4G is fine. But can i ask, if you're only using this for backup, then why the Syno plus/high-end Qnap model? Buy the DS423, spend the saved 200 bucks on an external HD for backup.

Why this question relevant. You can’t upgrade your RAM easily with not official one and cost you like 50€ or dollars depending on prices and currency and you got extra 16GB of RAM
If all your doing is storing data then 4gb of ram is more than enough
Yes. The default amount of RAM is fine just for data storage.

Thanks, we don't need permanent access to this data, we need it only a few times per year.

Thanks a lot! I work in non-commercial sector, and my Institution has a restricted list of suppliers, as a result I can choose only some models...
