Does it have a sealing adhesive on the RAM expansion tray? I don't see why I shouldn't install my own high-quality RAM module myself (I've read that the warranty is excluded if I install my own RAM).

PS: Would be cool if you offered the soft bundle with 8TB hard drives as well;)

Accepted Answer

No, it didn't, the additional 4G RAM can simply be inserted into the free slot.
Regarding warranty, Synology writes "Do not remove the pre-installed memory module to avoid voiding the product warranty" and " Synology will not provide full product warranty and technical support if a non-Synology memory module is inserted. 
memory module is installed that is not from Synology."

So as long as you use a Synology RAM you are on the safe side. If you want to install 16G RAM and therefore use non-Synology RAM (iDomiX discusses this on Youtube, the videos are generally worth watching), you violate the warranty.
