1) USB C Port : I read the USB C port on DXP4800 Plus is actually TB4 port but they've only enabled it on the 6 and 8 bay? Is there a way to enable this if so?
2) m.2 NVME Slots: I read a review that said one is 3X4 and the other is 4X4. NAS Compares says 2 x 4x4 m.2 NVME slots. For the 8 bay review it states one is Gen 4x4 the second slot is Gen 4x4 but has been downgraded to Gen 3x2 or 8G transfers. The 3rd slot for the operating system is Gen 3x1 slot...Can't see any info on Ugreen website.
Do they have to be the same to create a raid with the two SSD's? Should I save money and buy the lower generation SSD?
3) SSD Cache vs Pool:
With the 2xNVME Slots, is it either cache or create a storage pool? (READ ONLY caching ~or~ READ/WRITE CACHING?) You can’t use Write Caching on its own? Read/Write caching requires two separate drives?
Can you get around that by Read/Write caching on one SSD (by partitioning it into separate volumes) and create a storage pool on the other SSD?
