If the SSD is SATA (and it probably is) then you shouldn't have any problems at all with using it in your NAS. There are a couple of reasons to use it as a main system disk. First one is the entire system is going to be a tad faster starting. Second, applications will start just a little faster as well.
There are of course come negatives, too. It takes up a drive slot that could have up to a 10TB drive in them. You lose the potential of a lot more storage space in that slot. SSD's are much more prone to heat related failures. And the temps they can survive are lower than a platter based drive.
It should work very well. And it could improve the over-all speed of the NAS, as long as the data you want/need is on the SSD. If the data is on a platter drive, though, the speed isn't going to help you at all. The data still needs to be read from the platters before it can get to your other machines....
