Warranty is 3 years with red. Shucking may void your Element's warranty (although there are stories of people getting warranty replacements by de-shucking).

Someone mentioned that there's 2 channels on the DS918+ & each channel can handle 8GB ram.

Depends on what you have currently transcoding. I have a dedicated NUC i3 with 8gb ram, and I'm upgrading my NAS, and will not rely on the NAS to transcode. I'll keep the i3 doing that.
