Can anyone confirm whether the Titan ships with one 8GB RAM chip installed?

David,

No, I should have said ‘mounted’ in the case of the Rev B. That is what the team told me:

An M.2 SSD (most likely you have the original Transcend 128GB) mounted directly onto the motherboard, which stores RoonOS, the RoonServer database, and system files. This one has to stay in the unit.

Again, I apologise for making up the solder part :frowning:

Of course - and the SATA drive (which can also even be HDD, I was told) are not included with a purchase.

Gladly.

Again, I misread the post - especially the sentence:

Would changing the NVMe SSD and fitting either

really be of help - to the OP?

Still really only trying to help the OP, as so many people here have helped me (yourself ‘invaluablyly’ !) - especially before I bought my own Nuclei :-).

Thanks. I was not aware that changing the base level of RAM could improve library performance.

Is that because of speed or some sort of buffering?

No intention to confuse :frowning:

which seems to be the case (‘to resolve Titan’s problems with my large library’) with the OP, doesn’t it?

Again, apologies for confusing. Entirely unintentional. Like most of us, probably, I’m used to posts here - especially about relatively new products when they don’t own them.

I assumed - wrongly - that @Jon_Lewis did not already own a Titan because he asked what it shipped with. And because he alluded to a large library that he wanted to equip himself with the most amount of storage for music files possible.

Thank you for your corrections.

Enough already. The OP asked about RAM, not music storage.

Perfect use, you don’t need your own music files to run Roon. For example, a user that only uses Tidal or Qobuz. That user has no need for an extra SSD or HDD for storage and would be a complete waste of money to buy one.

From the Titan’s I’ve seen they ship with (2) 4 GB Kingston 3200 Mhz DRAM chips for a total of 8GB of memory. The OS NVMe Drive is also a Kingston.

I agree, 8GB RAM in my Titan

My apologies again, Jon - and other posters - for jumping to the erroneous conclusion that you wanted to choose or add storage for your large library :frowning: .

I hope you get everything sorted out just as you want it.

My Titan arrived with 2 matching 4GB SODIMMs. I elected to upgrade to Industrial Apacer wide-temp RAM (32GB x 2) because I found a good deal on it.
