Any advantage in placing a SSD drive as drive 0? I tried to put one in service but cannot get anything past RAID 0 - wanted to know if anyone would suggest this or has tried it.
All other drive bays in my AT 606 are 2TB
Thank you.

Re: SSD Drive Zero
You can set up drive bay 1 with an SSD, in fact, you can put an SSD in any drive bay from what I understand.
Really, there isn't going to be much benefit with an SSD in any of Asustor's models. Most modern drives already are as fast a throughput as can saturate a 1GB network. The NAS itself may not be able to read the data off the drive as fast as the network, depending on the model.
The only major advantage an SSD could have would be in starting the NAS up, and any kind of converting or compression processes. You reach a point of diminishing returns, though. More money out for the little bits of gain.
For the price of a 1TB SSD you can put in a 6TB HDD and have more space, and only a bit slower access time on your data. And personally, the costs make the idea prohibitive, IMHO.
