How is it running? Are you happy with those?Brand new to the forum, but wanted to share that I purchased two of the following:

Very interested to see how you get on with these @sawwee... Do you get a message to say they are non-Synology?I paid 258 usd for each. I ordered them from a company in my country (Hungary, Europe), the company is called 'Avnet'. They are an international comapany, so maybe you can find them in your country, too.
If not, you still can google for ATP AF960GSTJA-8BAXP and find where can you buy them.
(By the way, of course ATP offers the same NVMe drive with larger and smaller capacity, too. '960' in means the capacity, so if you need a smaller one, Google for 'ATP AF480GSTJA-8BAXP', etc.
The items are supposed to be delivered today, I'll let you know once I installed and tested them.Very interested to see how you get on with these @sawwee... Do you get a message to say they are non-Synology?
Techradar talk of a new Ironwolf SSD with power protection, not cheap though. I don't think I need the power protection anyway, being behind a UPS. Mind you, I don't think I need NVMe at all, if I'm honest. even if the VMs and Plex server might see a boost...
Anyone have experience of Samsung NVMe m.2 in a Synology? They can be on offer sometimes too.
I've used both PM851 and SM851 models in a DS918+ successfully. They are on the compatibility list also.Anyone have experience of Samsung NVMe m.2 in a Synology?
Thanks for the reply. I am aware that there is a negligible speed difference in this setup but should clarify that I will eventually have this setup with a few HDDs populating the remaining 3 bays as a separate pool for slower-moving storage, which will eventually get the NVMe cache. I just need something now for video and media creation that's pretty fast and am trying to spread the costs out over 3-6months since I still have other storage options that will work for redundancy until I get everything consolidated to this new NAS.Using a nvme ssd cache, when you have 3 of those SSD in raid as data disks does not make sense imho.
your speed benefit will be quite small, if noticeable.
Especially as using a nvme cache prohits TRIM and may shorten the life of your SSD's.
regarding the PLP (Power Loss Protection), for a proper operation of the PLP you need 4 mandatory cooperated parts in your NAS:I've just ordered two ATP AF960GSTJA-8BAXP NVMe drives (960 GB each) for my DS1621xs+
They are not only cheaper (USD/GB) than Synology, but they also have larger capacity, they have higher I/O, higher read and write speed, and the most important (for me) : they have Power Loss Protection (unlike Synology SNV3400).
I'll let you know how do they perform once I receive them.
when you need significant speed for media creation you can use more useful RAID0. With 4x Exos 7E8 you can get capacity in tenths TBs with speed better than your SSD in F1 and also you can utilize more effective also 10G LAN (useful for such scenario) than the SSDs.Thanks for the reply.

I sincerely disagree. PLP is still useful for example in case of power supply failor (which is one of the most frequent failor of Synology NASes), UPS won't help in that case. Moreover I had also cases when there was a communication error between my Syno and my UPS and it caused an uncontrolled shut down when blackout happened.Then PLP feature in SSD is pointless in Syno environment.
