NVMe SSD

Posted by tlea on October 8, 2023 at 16:55:37:
The newer Syno NAS units permit configuring the M.2 sticks as a storage pool or cache. I have it set up as cache right now but it looks easy to change. If/when I decide to try moving Roon Core to the NAS, I'll try putting on the internal M.2, which seems like a neat, tidy solution. I can't find anyone on the Roon forum who has tried it yet, but I'm sure it will happen soon.

I did pay the premium for 8GB of Synology proprietary RAM because I wanted to match the stock chip. The NVMe drive seemed less critical. Although the company authorizes third-party HDDs and SSDs in the array, it only lists its own over-priced RAM and M.2 sticks as compatible.
