Thanks, didn’t realise you can do that, think I had the DS209+II which I think in the comments someone said could only go to DSM 5.2 so tbh prob not worth it for me. Like I say, that one is rarely used tbh, I have my main nas box that’s current running DSM 7 and works fine, the DS209 is one I use for temp stuff mostly and so is only on as required.
Due to the much older DSM, I’ve not use it for anything critical due to potential security issues with DSM 4.2 as not been any updates for quiet some time.
Would love to replace all my HDs with NVMe drives but the nas is built for 3.5″ drives mostly or maybe 2.5″ if the caddy supports them (never looked myself) but the cost to get equivalent storage capacity would not be worth it at the moment but give it a few years when prices come down like they always go, then it could be worth it but I suspect by then my existing current NAS box will be EOL and I’d need a replacement and maybe they will be supported NVMe drives then :) Would get much better performance from it, I fear then my 1GB network would be the bottlekneck and I’ve have to see about moving to 10Gbps network but not sure i fancy replacing all my cat5e cables as they all within the walls so be more of a headache and lifting floorboards etc.
