It seems like you're encountering performance bottlenecks with your QNAP TS-251B, especially when running applications like Qumagie. While adding an M.2 SSD via a PCIe expansion card could potentially improve responsiveness, it might not fully address the underlying issues. Upgrading to SSDs instead of HDDs, implementing NVMe caching, and increasing RAM could all contribute to better performance. However, considering the significant investment required for these upgrades and the uncertain outcomes, it might be more cost-effective and beneficial in the long run to consider upgrading to a newer QNAP model, preferably from the 64 series or higher. These newer models typically come with enhanced hardware capabilities and better performance, which could better meet your needs without the need for additional hardware upgrades.
