Three things:

1. I can see nothing whatsoever about what M.2 drives are suitable.

2. I was under the impression that the M.2s weren't for general storage.

3. Is there any advantage to using M.2s? Could you use two of those and two SSDs for a four disk RAID5 setup? M.2s aren't any lower power than SSDs, maybe faster, but that's irrelevant if the other twoin the array are slower.
1. Any NVMe 2280 drive will work.
2. You're mistaken. It's up to you whether you configure them as cache or storage.
3. I hope ADM would prevent anyone doing something that daft. I have a feeling that the NVMe and SATA drives have to be defined as separate volumes and RAID can't span volumes. (This could be nonsense and I'm sure someone will correct me if it is.) NVMe drives are faster than SATA but I think the PCIe slot will be the limiting factor. I'm not sure why Asustor is congratulating itself on using PCIe3 when PCIe4 is the current standard.
