This post is about my Lenovo 510s 32 GB RAM Jellyfin upgrade. Recently, I found a matching 16 GB DDR4 stick for 50 USD, which is rare these days as AI demand keeps pushing memory prices around. Because of that, upgrading RAM whenever I can is my top priority. With the second stick installed, Lil Beast now runs in dual channel and I have 32 GB total. As a result, Jellyfin should feel better with this setup, especially when I transcode. Meanwhile, I will share more about my Jellyfin server soon since I have not written about it yet.

Homelab Upgrade: RAM Changes & 4TB Storage on the Lenovo 510s
I made a Lenovo 510s homelab upgrade to keep “Lil Beast” flexible for the future. I switched from 2×8 GB to a single 16 GB RAM stick and added a 4 TB HDD for bulk storage. This gives me a clean path to 32 GB later and enough capacity to host storage heavy services.
Back in December I introduced my first homelab PC, the Lenovo 510s (“Lil Beast”) with an i5‑8400. You can read the build details here:
