M2 PCI3 SSD’s

#1
Your videos are very entertaining (you hate seagulls) and knowledgable. I’ve ordered a Synology DS 923+ from Amazon. I’ve mentioned in an earlier post that I tried using your link before buying, but the webpage was jumping and flickering, so I couldn’t use it. If I decide to fill the NVME slots., which Ssd’s can I use. I’ve looked at the Samsung 970 Evo, 970 plus, 980, would these M2’s work? Can you suggest any others.
I know that I can only use them for caching if they are not Synology.

I appreciate your kind words about my videos, and I'm glad you find them entertaining and informative. Regarding your question about NVMe M.2 SSDs for the Synology DS923+, it's crucial to consider reliability ratings, specifically DWPD/MTBF, as caching involves numerous read and write operations.

I've compiled a list of suitable NVMe M.2 SSDs with their corresponding DWPD values:

Samsung 970 Pro - 0.66 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 510 - 0.7 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 520 - 0.9 DWPD
Seagate IronWolf 525 - 0.7 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 530 - 0.7 DWPD
Synology SNV3400 - 0.68 DWPD
WD Red SN700 - 1.0 DWPD
For caching purposes, it's advisable to choose models with a DWPD of 0.5 and above to ensure optimal performance and longevity under the high read and write demands of caching operations.
