Using SSD for cache on Synology NAS

Love that signature edition box. Hilarious!

I’m using a Synology DS3617xs myself. Using the spare space I had doing nothing on that device. Much better to put it to use.

Right now I have an SHR2 (based on RAID6) array with 4x4TB and 4x8TB accelerated by a read/write SSD cache of 2x1TB SSD’s. Seeing some really nice performance on this in part thanks to the SSD cache. I wouldn’t have bought that just for storj, but since I had that already anyway, might as well put it to some good use.

Does the nvme SSD cache import anything for StorJ only?
