i have a Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen 2 AS6704T & i was just wondering which one of these to buy for casheing

Seagate FireCuda 530, 500GB, Internal SSD, M.2 PCIe Gen4 ×4 NVMe 1.4, transfer speeds up to 7300 MB which is £48.48

will this work well with the above NAS & do i need to use a heat sink or anything with this and if so what heat sink and/or thermal pads to buy.

if they work well going get four 2 for read & right speeds and two 4 gb ones for extra storage.

if this one not good what would you recommend please

NVMe must be best one"s thanks in advance

thanks in advance

When choosing NVMe for caching you need to look at reliability ratings such as DWPD/MTBF. Here are a few on the list

Caching means a lot of read and write operations, unlike regular storage situation.
You would need to look at models with 0.5DWPD and above

970 pro – 0.66DWPD

Synology SNV3400 – 0.68DWPD

Seagate FireCuda 510 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate IronWolf 525 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate Firecuda 530 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate PS5 Game drive – 0.7 DWPD

Seagate FireCuda 520 -0.9 DWPD
WD Red SN700 – 1.0DWPD

I hope this helps.
