Hi everyone, I just purchased a DS918+ (Yep, just a few days after the DS920+ was leaked) 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 DRAM-less SSDs for caching? Does it work? How stable is it? I'm wondering, does DSM support HMB - or something similar?
Synology doesn't say if they are implementing HMB in DSM (or something similar). Although I was reading this article and this is the closest sentence that resembles like HMB - "A memory map will be created in the system RAM to record which data blocks are on the SSD Cache." (Page 6)
I haven't installed the NVMes yet as I'm still waiting for an enclosure so that I can update the firmware of the NVMes 1st.
I appreciate any comments/feedback/answers. Thanks!
