Hi everyone,
I have a TS-459u+ 4.2.6 build 20240618, an older model but sturdy and always in perfect condition!! 4TB of space, RAID5.
I’d like to know if it’s possible to add a cache SSD to speed up write processes somehow? Has anyone ever thought about or tried it?
The machine performs very well on large files, but unfortunately not on small ones, especially since the disks are mechanical.
Thanks for any suggestions.

No, also forget about cache on QTS (even on newer devices that actually support it)

If you need fast interaction with small files or random IO, get a NAS that supports fast SSD storage pools/volumes (dedicated SSD bays in either SATA,M.2 or U.2)

I understand, I was hoping there was a way to enable or turn on caching.

Thanks.
