+My NAS server only has 16 GB RAM. I upgrade this to 32 GB. upgrade the OS disk and move the components from a Fractal Design Node 304 desktop chassis to a Rosewill RSV-R4000U rack-mount chassis.

+## Upgrading
+In a previous log entry I documented the build process of my storage server. At the time its only intended purpose was managing my file storage and hosting a media streaming service. Its purpose has expanded to a degree that it begs for additional RAM. I will double the RAM from 16GB to 32 GB, reaching the limitations of the motherboard. I will replace the WD Blue SA510 SSD storage drive, (which will replace a very slow mechanical drive in a laptop), with a Samsung 970 EVO Plus. Old and new components will be installed in a new chassis Rosewill RSV-R4000U and rack-mounted alongside the other computer.
