Hi,

I wanted to create a storage pool on my DS423+ with Samsung 970 Evo and a 970 Evo Plus.
Before executing this script I used https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db which apparently was enough.
I was already able to create a storage pool and a volume out of my two M.2 NVMe SSDs in the UI.

I am on DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6.

Anything I am missing? Anything this script here adds in functionality?

In any case thank you for your wonderful work!!

The Synology_enable_M2_volume script was written before I updated Synology_HDD_db to enable creating M.2 volumes.

There are some Synology models where both syno_hdd_db and syno_enable_m2_volume are needed. But if syno_hdd_db works for someone then there's no need to also use syno_enable_m2_volume.

Hey, i have an 423+ in order too , I think it officially only supports storage pool with 2 drives? Im gonna buy only one for now, then I probably still need the syno_enable_m2_volume script?

Or is it also possible with the synology_hdd_db script only to create a storage pool?

Just the synology_hdd_db script will allow you to create a storage pool on the NVMe drive(s).

Also with 1 drive? Cause the 423+ only supports official 2 drives as storage...

I also see this, seems not possible anymore with the HDD script only with newer DSM?
Or do you have more feedback from other users?

DSM supports 1 or 2 NVMe drives as storage.

The hdd_db script works in DSM 7.21 including update 1 to update 4.

That person used the syno_create_m2_volume script which is not needed, or recommended, for '21 series or newer models using DSM 7.2 or newer.
