Instead of populating this NAS with HDD's you can use use regular SATA SSD's. If you are looking for a NAS that can support 2 HDD's & an SSD cache then Synology may be a better option. But their implementation is a bit clunky from what i've read. In terms of good SSD's, there are some NAS specific SSD's like WD Red SSD's and Seagate ironwolf SSD's for example. In my personal opinion if you are going to use SSD's then having "Made for NAS use" branding isn't that important as it would be for HDD's. Just lookup how many write cycles the drive is rated for & stick to a known brand. It kind of comes down to type of usage, really. Just don't get the "Basic" offerings.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This may not be. To my knowledge a NAS system usually is active 24*7, which requires the hard disk more stable. Some brands provide a line of products in NAS disks.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not natively. It uses 3.5" hard drives. I think Synology has an SSD NAS that uses either 4 or 6 SSD's. I did look at that first and decided I wanted maximum storage for minimum cost and bought this.
