    Is there a point using NVMe cache when using SSD's only?

    Topic says it all. My DS923+ runs all SSD's at the moment, is there a point of using my old NVMe as cache?

    RAM or SSD Cache First?

    I took advantage of Black Friday sales and just ordered a DS923+ that I will use for file storage and backup purposes. For my use, my concern is maximizing transfer speeds and I just read that on Reddit: « System RAM also caches I/O, so the SSD cache will only give you a boost if your...

    DS214 replacement

    In 2013, I bought a Synology DS214 NAS along with two 3TB SATA III Seagate hard drives. I’m very happy with the solution because I’ve never had any issues. After more than 10 years, I’m thinking about upgrading and addressing the shortcomings I currently face: I notice slow data access. Lack...

    DS923+ Out of memory - Photos?

    Dear Forum, I'm going to say thanks in advance because although I'm in IT, I'm more on the application side of things rather than Infrastructure/Hardware and these are really my first experiences with NAS. Therefore many thanks is for your patience with my potentially stupid questions. I've got...

    Can I backup my NAS to a directly-attached SSD?

    I'm a new home-based NAS user (Synology DS224+). I understand that there are cloud-based backup methods, but I'm wondering if it's possible for me to USB-plug an SSD into the DS224+ and send the backup to that. If 'yes', please direct me to instructions. Thanks.

    SSD Drives Known to Work (Cache and otherwise)

    So the point of this thread is to start a list of known to work well SSDs on Synology. I dont care if they are 'blessed' or not blessed by Synoloyg, the only thing that matters is that actual users get good performance from them.

    Performance improve using SSD Cache with VM files?

    Hello all, Would like to ask if SSD cache could give performance improve in a volume dedicated to store and serve large VM files by NFS. I've read that only certain kinds of data can be cached and VM HDDs are used as block devices where DSM doesn't understand the contents of. I've also seen a...

    SSD caching using flashcache_create via SSH

    I have a DS224+ which I would like to implement SSD read caching on but I am having issues. Synology have confirmed that it does not support it officially but I have SSH'd into the machine and see that I can use flashcache_create so it should be possible. I have a single 12tb seagate nas drive...

    SSD Cache Advisor missing?

    Setting up new HDD NAS on DSM 7, and looking at best options for NVMe caching. Figured I could run Cache Advisor on old NAS running DSM 6.2, see what my historic usage pattern indicates, but I am not seeing any Cache Advisor button under Storage Manager on my old NAS. The help files on that...

    SSD cache died.

    This am I woke up to a volume warning There was no other warning other than me checking. Seems my 1tb SSD cache 1 bit the dust after 2 years. Disk 2 is still good, but I disabled it also and probably won't replace 1. Any opinions? TIA

    (Info) SSD Cache Endurance

    I found the NasCompares nvme list very informative when it came to choosing suitable drives for the new DS1621+ HA cluster I'm currently preparing for migration for our domain storage. We don't have a huge amount of data, 4.2Tb = 5x iSCSi LUN, 4.2Tb = ABB backups. About 15 months ago one or...
