SSD caching Is it possible to buy a QNAP 4-bay NAS, populate 2 bays with NAS HHD’s, then throw in say a 250gb SSD into the third bay and set it as an SSD cache? Also, to do caching does it take two memory modules or can you set it up with one like my […]

Thank yo for doing the review. I purchased the TBS-453DX 4GB version. I upgraded the ram to 16 GB with a pair of 8GB modules, so I can confirm that worked great. I purchases 4 of the WD Blue 2TB SSDs when they went on sale on Amazon for a great price. WD Blue 3D […]
Would these Samsung SSD’s fit in the QNAP HS 453 DX or would you recommend any other configuration? Qnap 453DX series will let you use regular HDD or SSD drives. On top of that, you can also install a couple of M.2 SATA SSD. This can be used for caching or additional storage volume. This […]
M2D18 with 970 EVO For my DS1817+ I bought an M2D18 Adapter Card and added 2*1TB EVO 970 nVme from Samsung (not officially supported by Synology). The newest version of DSM doesn’t recognize the cache. Is one part out of order or do I have a problem with compatibility? DS1817+ does not support NVMe drives, […]

Great review of the Qnap hs-453dx! 2 questions: – If I get 2x2TB 2.5 inch SSDs + 2x2TB m.2 SATA SSDs of the same brand like Samsung 860 evo or WD blue, would the system be able to RAID them? – Would aftermarket 2x8gb memory SODIMMS work? And is memory above 8gb necessary/useful on a […]
Greetings, I have been a fan of your for a while on YouTube which lead me to buy the Synology 1817+, got a couple of Seagate Iron Wolf PRO 10TB each, and when you praised the M2D18 I got that as well, trying to be smart I got the WD Black 1TBGB High-Performance NVMe PCIe […]
I’m a music composer and I use a lot of virtual instruments (and a lot of RAM…). Since I am upgrading my studio I was wondering if NAS could be used instead of SSDs. Here’s the case: I will have two PCs, one with the DAW (I use Cubase) and the other one with the […]
USB 3.0 as a cache for TS-431XeU Please let me approach you with an easy and simple question. I’m considering buying TS-431XeU-2G, however, I would like to know if I can use for SSD Cache functionality a USB 3 attached external hard drive (let’s say an M2 drive in an external enclosure), because all 4 […]
I am about to install a Synology FS1018 (purchased via your link to Amazon). It will have 24GB RAM. The FS1018 will host a RAID F1 SSD array (4x Samsung 860 PRO 240GB SSD drives) that holds about 100MB of performance-critical PHP apps and associated data caches – along with about 70TB of low-activity archived […]

I’m planning to use it as a central data repository for domestic and SOHO business purposes, plus as a media store and potentially streaming device. I’ve installed Roon on it and it seems to be performing very well, despite having just 4GB RAM. I am wondering about a couple of things, however. Firstly, I’m thinking […]
I’m searching for a NAS with focus on file-usage-speed: – 10GbE connection, if possible with link aggregation – can run Plex and maybe a couple of other applications – can use SSDs – is quiet 10+ TB There aren’t many 10GbE options available especially if you prefer traditional RJ45 connection. But there are quite a few single and […]
