I have installed 2 Reletech P400 PCle SSD M.2 MVMe 512GB in my AS6510T full of HGST HUH721212ALN604 drives that never stopped before.Delgado wrote:The PyroPath wrote:Don't know if it's a compatibility issue with the HDD or "normal" behavior, but since adding the NVMe SSD as volume 1 the NAS goes to S3 sleep each and every time.

That very bad part is that I could not find a way to detect my fully working JBOD volume1 after I added these SSD (while the HD were removed). Although I could see the file system using WinSCP, after some command line I found here, it was impossible to add this volume as volume2 to appear in the web interface. So I had to create a new volume2 (format) again and copy (rsync) from a backup that will run for about a week (the other NAS has 1 gbps network card).
I can't tell if the NAS will go to sleep yet but I already see that even while copying to this JBOD volume2, all drives but one are now cold (20°C) while the one receiving the files is warmer (29°C). That never happened before as all drive were always warm all day long even with no request from the LAN.
The problem remains that ASUS make us believe that the drive should Hibernate while some of us have seen that it cannot work. It has been a waste of time with the support trying to find the cause (I only use this NAS with rsync and NFS, no apps). While adding one or two SSD seems to be the solution with this NAS, it is an expensive one and again a huge waste of time because we lose the perfectly working initial volume1.
Thank you for your tip.
