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?

    I have 4x - 2TB nvme on Asus HyperX M.2 Gen 4 card in my Synology DS3622xs+ as second nvme only volume in RAID10 for fast files sync and storage using Synology Drive.

    Have another 4x -2TB nvme coming that I will put on same Asus AIC as 8TB RAID0 array on my Windows workstation for super fast scratch disk for my database projects.

      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
