| Notes | Volumes over 108TB require 32GB of memory or more. | |
| Actual maximum storage pool and volume sizes depend on drive sizes used, the number of drive bays available and the RAID configuration. | ||
| Usable capacity for each volume will be lower than the maximum volume size and is dependent on the filesystem and the amount of system metadata stored. | ||
| Creating M.2 storage pools requires the use of Synology-verified SSDs, which are rigorously tested under extreme temperature conditions. Thermal parameters for SSDs and NAS units are fine-tuned to ensure optimal management of thermal conditions under I/O-intensive environments. | ||
