M.2 NVMe SSD - Enquiries - 03-15-2023
Hi,
I have an DS1621xs+ and are looking into upgrading it with NVMe SSD's.
It's a jungle out there when it comes to whats compatible.
I think the Synology ones are overpriced and are looking into buying something else.
Could you recommend something to me that you know works with my machine?
Best regards / Daniel Rendrup

There is only Synology SSD listed here https://www.synology.com/en-uk/compatibility?search_by=products&model=DS1621xs%2B&category=m2_ssd_internal&p=1&change_log_p=1
But you may try and use other SSDs.
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.
