Thank you for reaching out to us, and we appreciate your continued support! In regards to your question about the AS5402T (Nimbustor Gen2) versus the Flashtor, it's essential to consider your specific storage needs. The AS5402T is a great choice if you require two HDD bays, offering ample storage capacity. On the other hand, if your priority is IOPS and speed, the Flashtor with its NVMe slots can provide superior performance. The decision ultimately depends on your individual situation and how much storage you require.
Regarding NVMe speeds, these NAS devices come with 4x PCIe Gen 3 m.2 NVMe slots, which means you can use NVMe drives of this type. There is no need to invest in more expensive Gen4 NVMe drives, as the Gen3 drives are fully compatible and can offer excellent performance. For the best NVMe options, you can consider Samsung's 980 Pro series or Firecuda, which are known for their high-quality and fast performance.
