Just got delivery of the DS923+ so now figuring out the drives and other add-ons to order. I was curious if I could first put in an SSD like a Crucial MX500 and start up the NAS, and finish installation of DSM. And once that’s done, add the rest of the drives (had 3x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 18TB in mind) as a separate volume. Would this work? (more importantly, would this help?) Would love any other suggestions for things I can add to the NAS.

I did it the same way on my ds220+ and it worked without any problems.

That’s great to hear, thank you! Now I’m wondering if I should do 2 SSD and 2 HDD or 1 SSD and 3 HDD like I originally thought.

Maybe I’ve misunderstood the initial question. I’ve put in a ssd, set up DSM, put all files on it and installed a second ssd for raid1 later.
