This was a bit of an impulse buy. Not sure how to use them. I was thinking:

  1. Austor Flashstor NAS, either the 6 or 12 bay NAS, but I already have a HDD Synology NAS, so it is not needed. More just for fun.
  2. A Homelab server with a motherboard that has 4 m.2 slots if such a thing exists. Then I could make a K8s cluster or a proxmox server.
  3. Find some other way to provide storage for a Homelab server that is not part of a motherboard? Like a PCIe board that holds 2 or 4 m.2 SSDs?

How did you get that synology to let you use them as storage drives? I thought any nvme was cached only except for their new 23 model. I’d love to be able to do this on a 2422 if possible

My 3622xs+ is not a “real” Synology box. It’s a custom built Xpenology running ARC loader. By using 007revad’s scripts, I’m able to create M.2 volume. Pretty sure you can run Dave’s script on any Synology boxes. Go to his Github to get instructions.

What Base hardware did you build it on? Or is it a vm?
