cache

Good day all - I am a new home-user of a Synology DS720+ and I am reaching out in hopes to find recommendations about configuring SSD cache. My current set-up and use: (2) 4TB HDD Seagate IronWolf drives in RAID1 and (1) Seagate IronWolf 510 M.2 SSD configured as read-only cache. The NAS is...

Is it better to use 1 larger m.2, let's say 500GB, than 2 smaller ones? I have 2 256 GB Sabrents which I can use or I can buy a single 512.

Hi I would like to buy the Seagate IronWolf 16TB (ST16000VN001) for the DS920+ I read online that the 12TB and 10TB version comes with an old Firmware (SC60) that does not support Write Cache. The firmware version SC61 should solve the problem. Does this model support it? Thanks!

I’m thinking of buying a couple of NVMe disks to use for cache in my DS1019+, and wondered what other people’s experiences are with them? I remember reading in the past that cache disks on DSM6 don’t (or didn’t) work particularly well, but should be improved in DSM7. But it was quite a while...

Hey all, I'm new on here and have purchased a DS920+ and awaiting for it to be delivered so i thought i'd get the rest of the upgrades that i need in the meantime. Just wanting to buy 2 SSD's for Cache and was looking at the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB M.2 NVMe and was wondering if anyone could...

Hi all, I'm new, and I dont have any IT background I'm trying to muddle through this NAS thing but I expect I will need some expert advice from time to time. I am running two cahces and have read about the potential loss of data when under R/W as I am using my 918+ only for home use the R/W...

Hello, is it possible to display the SSD CACHE function in the storage manager for a DS218+. I activated the esata port as an internal drive via SSH and would now like to use this as an ssd cache. Thank you for the help Christian

I'm planning to install MD218 to add SSD cache on my ds1618+. I have 32 GB RAM. Now for the two M.2 slots in MD218 I am going to buy two SSD drives. Is there a limit on the size of SSD drive that can be installed? Can I buy two 1TB SSD drives for SSD cache on ds1618+? Then the SSD cache size...

hello everyone I am very lucky that I found this forum. it is full of information that I could not find elsewhere so keep posting. today I would like to ask you all experts about upgrading RAM and Cache. I looked into Amazon for Synology D4ECSO-2666-16G RAM for my DS1819+ and it costs over 300$...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a DS918+ (Yep, just a few days after the DS920+ was leaked) :oops: For the price I got my 918+, I was able to squeeze 2 NVMes in my budget. But it was too late as I noticed later on that the NVMes I got were DRAM-less. Now my questions are, is anyone using...

When I'm creating a NVMe cache on my DS918+, DSM allows me to select the size of the cache. What's the purpose for this since I obviously can't use the space I'm not allocating as cache for anything else?
