I want to get the most out of this. What all do I need? Memory, NVMe or not? What alternative OS for using as a storage for backup, & a central place to use & store things on. Is there any advantage to having 2 NVMe drives?

Thank you for your inquiry regarding maximizing the performance of your TerraMaster F2-423 NAS. When it comes to memory (RAM), adding more won't necessarily speed up operations if you're not utilizing a significant portion of it. However, if you find your usage hovers around 50%, adding more RAM could be beneficial.
Considering your 6GB NAS setup, utilizing NVMe cache can offer advantages, especially for scenarios with multiple users or resource-intensive tasks like VMs or Docker containers that demand high IOPS. TerraMaster's Hyper Cache technology is an effective way to enhance performance. It combines HDDs for data storage and SSDs for cache acceleration, significantly boosting storage performance. It offers various cache modes tailored to different usage needs, such as read/write acceleration, read-only acceleration, and a balanced mode that optimizes both.
For those who need high-speed access for large video files or nonlinear video editing, setting up a cache array using two SSDs in read/write mode with RAID 0 can significantly improve access times. On the other hand, if security and speed are both essential, combining a balance mode with RAID 0 configuration can be useful, particularly for website databases with low write rates and high concurrent read rates.
