J0hnny Posted December 10, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2018 Hello All, I have a Custom built home-server with the following components: - Asus P10S-M WS S1151 XEON C236 MATX - Kingston 16GB DDR4 2400MHz ECC CL17 - Seasonic Focus 80 Plus Platinum - 750W - Fractal Design Celsius S24 - 4x8TB WD Red - Intel XEON E3-1225V6 3.30GHZ I have DSM 6.2.1 installed as DS3617XS. I would like to add an SSD cache to the system. I tried to install a Samsung 970 evo SSd drive but no success. The BIOS recognizing the SSD fine, but under DSM is not visible and I am not able to create an SSD cache. Anyone can help me what should I do to make this happen? Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 10, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2018 @J0hnny On what port on your mainboard is the SSD connected ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0hnny Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted December 10, 2018 @bearcat : The SSD is connected to the mainboard's internal M.2 Socket (NVMe supported) and the bios detecting properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 10, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 10, 2018 @J0hnny Seems like you need to use DS918+ if you want to use NVMe cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0hnny Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted December 10, 2018 😭 It's not good news. I installed initially DS3617XS because I would like to use 8 HDDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manfriday Posted December 10, 2018 Share #6 Posted December 10, 2018 I have tried NVMe with adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F9RBP5W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in PCIe slot with 512GB stick. Only works in DS918+ config and is only read only cache as there is one stick of storage. BTW you can certainly use more than 8 drives in the DS918+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loader 1.04b and DS918+ supports up to 16 Disks by default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 11, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) The Asus P10S-M WS have 8 integrated SATA ports + 1 M.2, I guess thats why. If you need all 8 porst for HDD, then you must add an extra SATA controller to connect "normal" SSDs to use as cache.
