ReadyNAS does not boot internal M.2 SATA drive
I was hoping i could boot from the internal M.2 drive. If doe snot. It recognizes it, but not in the GUI.
This concludes my adventure with 628X. Here are my findings:
1. My favored option is still the native ReadyNAS OS with local repository.
2. Working alternative is the Xpenology 7.1.1. It is very easy to convert and runs flawlessly. You need a video output which is fairly cheap to accomplish and it is only one time setup: disable the internal USB boot and set the external USB as default.
I was able to install esxi to the HDD, but after every reboot, cirtual machines will disappear. I did not play further after a couple of attempts. I don’t think it is viable if you can not boot from the M.2 drive.

You could probably chainload or similar to go from the internal flash to booting off the M.2 drive
