Racked Synology NAS + NVMe Cache
Is there currently a racked Synology NAS 3.5″ 12+ disk product with NVMe SSD cache support, Xeon processors and 10Gbe?
The answer is no unless you get one with an expansion. Synology has two models with NVMe SSD card support and 10GbE built in, but CPU will be Atom:
RackStation RS2818RP+ 16bay and RackStation RS2418+ / RS2418RP+ 12bay
- Intel Atom C3538 Quad Core 2.1 GHz
- 4 GB DDR4
But you can get an RS1619xs+ for 
+
- Intel Xeon D-1527 Quad Core 2.2 (base) / 2.7 (turbo) GHz
- 8 GB DDR4 ECC UDIMM
