Hello,
Love your site, trying to figure out way to improve my NAS for plex. I recently upgraded from the QNAP 251-B to 251-D, and also added a QNAP QM2-2S-220A Dual M.2 22110/2280 SATA SSD Expansion Card (PCIe Gen2 X2) because i thought it would help with cacheing. I currently have 2 hard drives, 1 4TB, 1 6GB. What i didn't realize is I believe I need an SSD drive to get the expansion card to work. So, i'm considering getting 1 10TB drive and 1 1TB SSD drive, but what I'm confused about is whether my current setup will port over? I don't have an existing RAID setup, does this mean I need to essentially start from scratch? In your opinion, is it worth it? Thanks so much!
