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

thanks for your response, mdgm
That is bit too much for technically for me. More importantly, I think the best use case is still ReadyNAS OS. To implement anything other than ReadyNAS OS, you can use much cheaper hardware. for a couple of hundred dollars, you can get an older used PC, small form factor if you wish, to install either Xpenology or ESXi. For ESXi, there are capable mini PCs as well. I turned my Lenovo P300 into a powerful Xpenology. (with a E3-1241 v3 CPU and cheap RAMs)
I will leave the ReadyNAS as it is. It is fun to explore. Excellent piece of hardware! those glowing LEDs are beautiful.
The 628x outperformed my Xpenology:
Writing: 113 versus 94
Reading: 118 versus 117
