Boost the performance of your compatible NAS with the 400GB SNV3400 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD from Synology, which has been tailored for their NAS models with built-in M.2 slots. It can handle tough caching workloads in 24/7 multi-user environments, while its durable I/O performance boosts system responsiveness and speeds up the handling of frequently accessed data to provide a streamlined storage experience while minimizing service disruptions.
This SSD has an overall capacity of 400GB, an NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, an M.2 2280 form factor, sequential read speeds of up to 3100 MB/s, sequential write speeds of up to 500 MB/s, random reads of 205,000 IOPS, and random writes of up to 40,000 IOPS. It also features an endurance of 500 TBW (terabytes written), 0.68 DWPD (drive writes per day), a 1.8 million hour MTBF (mean time between failures), and an UBER (uncorrectable bit error rate) of <1 sector per 1017 bits read.
Please note that Synology’s 400GB SNV3400 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD may be used directly in the M.2 slot of your compatible NAS, or in an M.2 adapter card that fits into one of the PCIe slots on your NAS.

I installed two of these in a Synology DS420+. It could hardly have been easier: open a plastic door, snap in place, close plastic door. The drive is now quieter, perhaps a bit faster. Happy with my purchase.

I started running more VMs on my DS1621+ and since I already had 32GB of ram, adding a cache is the natural next step to improving its performance. I ended up specifically choosing the NVMe from Synology because it is designed for the read/write cache load.

I use my Synology DS1621+ partly for Time Machine backups which by default run every hour. Unfortunately, the disk access pattern for Time Machine (and the Spotlight indexing that accompanies it) appears to be very random, which creates a lot of disk noise – so much so I was thinking of relocating the Synology to some distant bookshelf. Installing the SSD as a read cache made a big the difference. The backups are much quieter and take perhaps half the time. Time Machine itself also starts up much faster. There are other benefits of using the SSD cache but, for me, reducing the disk noise was the benefit that stands out for making this a worthwhile purchase.

Pricey, but didn’t want any issues with Synology. Long term the cost won’t matter. I am a home use that utilizes the system (DS1621XS+) for photo management and workflow, surveillance, and backup not only of home system but remote work site. Attached via a 10gbe backbone with speeds greater than 600 MB/s. Couldn’t be more thrilled. Purchased along with synology 12 TB hard drives (qty 6), 32GB ram, and 2 400GB NVME drives.

When you are looking for enterprise reliability look no farther than Synology.

Works perfectly with my Synology DiskStation DS1621xs+

Working just fine. Took me a few minutes to figure out how to add it to my storage volume, but once I found the correct settings, it all went smoothly. I set mine up for read-only cache.

Excellent Synology approved NVMe expansion drive for adding Cache capabilities to the NAS. The read and/or read/write cache for Synology is useful for commonly used assets off your NAS. The DSM will analyze your particular usage and then recommend turning on read or read/write cache. It definitely works, speeding up our access. Expensive, but worth it! (Get two for the best read/write speeds!)
