Synology_M2_volume VS Synology_enable_M2_volume

DSM won't let you create a storage pool on drives in a PCIe adapter card so for the NVMe drives in the E10M20-T1 I used my https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume script to create the storage pool.

For more information and to download see: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume

So I got my DS423+ and love the NAS and ecosystem so far!! I also have a WD RED SN700 unfortunately I at first could not create a storage pool out if it as Synology only supports their own NVME ssds. my WD RED SN700 with 2TB is cheaper than the Synology one which just has 400gb. Luckily I was able to create a storage pool on the WD using this https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume !!!

DS916+, DS920+ and DS1522+ all working well with 3rd party RAM. Yes, it moans about it, but no issues. NVMe as a volume is also working on the DS920+ and DS1522+ (https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume) although I did have to recreate the volumes (I have always make sure I back them up with Hyper-Backup anyway).

Probably something like this but if the OP can't articulate what they did probably also didn't read the "Important" paragraph:

You will need to use the SSH scripts to turn up NVMe as a storage pool on 3rd party drives - https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume

You could have done it without all that typing by using https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume

If you do end up having to wipe the drives and decide you want to try again, I’d recommend using this https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume it’s way easier than running all the commands yourself and super simple. It’s how I made my nvme pool and it worked great.

I’m assuming I want to make the NVMes as a storage pool instead of a cache? If so, I’m assuming I need to run this script?

Or https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume

You could try my https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume script as well... or just update to DSM 7.2

Or if you want to use Synology brand NVMe drives just run Synology_enable_M2_volume

First time using the M2 slots on my DS920. I bought two Crucial P3 500GB NVMe drives off Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/cqpHrJI. I used the script here: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume that handles all the commands to set them up as a storage pool.

As you have DS2422+ which would be running DSM 7.1.1 you could have created the storage pool(s) and volume(s) all via storage manager if you'd run https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume or https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db which would be the preferred option with a DS2422+

I had forgotten that DSM 7.2 removed Health Info for non-Synology NVMe drives, as I can see Health Info for my WD NVMe drives in DSM 7.2 (which I assume is due to having run my Synology_enable_M2_volume script).
