Any Notes People Should Know

Would love the ability to use my 2 – 2TB Seagate FireCude SSDs in a RAID 1 storage configuration to offload the Roon DB, however, Synology only allows a storage configuration if you use their branded NVMe drives. I currently have my SSDs configured in RAID 1 as Read/Write Cache
