QNAP TS-262 M.2 SSD UPGRADE - Enquiries - 01-03-2025
I have recently purchased a QNAP TS-262 with two WD Red 4TB drives but I am now thinking that should have also utilised the two PCIe slots on the motherboard.
I want to set these up to hold and run the QNAP apps for the NAS
I don’t to get the wrong ones.
Please could you advise which makes and models of NVMe M.2 SSD’s would be right for my model of NAS.
thank you in advance

When choosing NVMe for caching you need to look at reliability ratings such as DWPD/MTBF. Here are a few on the list

Caching means a lot of read and write operations, unlike regular storage situation.
You would need to look at models with 0.5DWPD and above
970 pro – 0.66DWPD
990pro – 0.68 DWPD
Synology SNV3400 – 0.68DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 510 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate IronWolf 525 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate Firecuda 530 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate PS5 Game drive – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 520 -0.9 DWPD
WD Red SN700 – 1.0DWPD
