Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_M2_volume/issues/203

Hi, I already have 2 NVME on Synology DS1821+ with a dedicated storage pool for VMM on top (with M2 enabled volume).

If I now upgrade to E10M20-T1 (PCI 3.0), can I simply move the 2 existing NVME disks from the internal slots to the E10M20-T1 card?
Is the data in the storage pool preserved? Or do I have to destroy the pool/volume and recreate it?

Thx

As long as you shut down the NAS first you can move the NVMe drives to the E10M20-T1 and your volume and it's data will be preserved.

There are a few things you need to be aware of:

You'll need https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_card to add support for the E10M20-T1's M.2 slots.
You'll need to run Synology_enable_M2_card after most DSM updates (schedule it to run at boot with the --model=E10M20-T1 -e options).
You'll need to run https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db to make DSM support NVMe volumes in PCIe cards.
You'll need to run Synology_HDD_db after most DSM updates (schedule it to run at boot with the -n option).
