Roon on NAS Experience Index: 2024

Can imagine this to work acceleration-wise but do you notice any increased writing activity on the magnetic disc(s) carrying the database?

There’d probably be less writing to the underlying disks since cache does not flush immediately so some changes might get consolidated

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
