Thank you for this video. It’s very helpful. I had DSM 920 and it’s still working but I am planning to get DSM 923 and link them together.👍

Interesting that Synology would make this video which is geared to the novice user as they have, overtime, been transitioning to cater to corporations whom will have people who know how to do all this.

If you setup the NAS with just NVME drives installed, presumably the operating system and apps will all be installed there and would presumably run faster. Once done, install the HDD's as a separate storage pool for data, media files, etc. Would this work or be of any value in doing ?

Crap. Was expecting a DS1825+. Maybe next time

Synology still does not include a user manual. A first time user needs an easy to use set up guide.
