Synology M2D20 Overview
Designed for select models of their NAS arrays, the M2D20 M.2 Adapter Card from Synology will supercharge the I/O performance of your NAS. The multi-queue capability of NVMe SSDs benefits latency-sensitive applications such as photo indexing, file search, and virtualization deployments.
Built as a PCIe card with a low profile and full height form factor, the M2D20 has M.2 slots, each of which supports an M.2 2280 or 22110 SSD. Another advantage of creating an SSD cache via a PCIe card, as compared to using your array's 2.5" drive bays, is that the 2.5" bays on your array are still available for file storage. The M2D20 interfaces with your compatible NAS using a PCIe 3.0 x8 host bus interface and uses a PCIe NVMe storage interface.
General Features
NVMe Enabled
Accelerate random I/O performance with the dual M.2 2280/22110 NVMe SSD slots.
Dedicated Cache Slots
Free up primary drive bays for data storage. With the M2D20, you won't need to use 2.5" drive bays to create an SSD cache, since it installs into a PCIe slot.
Matches with Synology SNV3000 Series NVMe SSDs
Install Synology SNV3000 Series NVMe SSDs on the M2D20 adapter card for fast and streamlined cache acceleration, and take full advantage of Synology SSD's enterprise-grade endurance, performance, and reliability with your Synology NAS.
