Dear @MakerOfGames
Our QA team has completed the test we can confirm that that the QM2 card is recognized, but as you mentioned, the system indeed does not detect the Samsung 990 EVO.
Following are the test environment and test results:
Env: TS-EC1679U, 4.3.6.2805_20240619
QM2-2P-384A + PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 SSD - Samsung 980 PRO 1TB - Result: did not recognize
The reason is that the support for QM2-2P-384A is not added in QTS 4.3.6. This QTS version is also EOL so there are no further updates to it on this NAS model…
Also, I would like to bring your attention to the fact that TS-1679U-RP don’t support QM2-2P-384A. Please refer to following screenshot and the URL : Compatibility List - QNAP
Instead you may try QM2-2P-384 ( older version) which is supported. Please refer following screenshot and URL.
This is to confirm that we have tested QM2-2P-384 card and it worked fine:
Test Setup:
TS-1679U-RP + QM2-2P-384 + Samsung 990 EVO
Result : QM2 Card and SSD both detected and Worked fine, Pass
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
