I have many HDDs connected to my computer and it runs 24/7.


My unit has an SSD system disk and 12GB RAM.


Will adding more RAM speed things up, or is some limit reached with
extra RAM?




Are you running 32bit or 64bit Windows 10 ? 32 bit is only able to use
around 3.5 GB of ram.
If you monitor your ram usage and it isn't being all used up, that usually
means more ram won't really help. (Task Manager- rt click on bottom task
bar and left click on Task Manager),
That will bring up the Task Manager, Near the bottom left side, Left click
on 'More details and then Left click on Performance. Do that while the
majority of your programs are running.


It's reading 4GB at the moment, but I'll keep an eye on it.
