5 Things to Know About the AS5404T's M.2 NVMe Slots

Two M.2 NVMe slots are built in, separate from the four drive bays. These slots can hold SSDs for caching or extra storage.

Using M.2 slots for caching speeds up access to frequently used data. This is useful if you run apps or databases on the NAS.

You can also use the M.2 slots as dedicated SSD storage. This gives you fast, silent storage without occupying a drive bay.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports handle external drives for additional capacity. They are a good option for backups or transferring large files.

The AS5404T does not support expansion units with more drive bays. If you need more than four bays, look at a different model.
