After much research on nascompares.com, I have finally settled on the Terramaster F4-424. The NAS will be used for backups (Mac & PC), multimedia (Plex), file storage (both general and video editing), and possibly VM/Docker usage in the future. I plan to initially install two 12Gb drives and some M.2 NVME drives.
1. Which would yield better performance: two M.2 drives for caching or one for the OS and one for caching?
2. What would be the recommended drives (brand and size) for the two slots?
3. I realize that the M.2 for OS storage would need to be installed initially, but does the M.2 for caching need to be installed at the time of initial setup also?
