As far as I'm aware it's not used for anything at the moment... I don't see it being something that end users will be touching/replacing though due to its location. Probably just comes with the motherboard in use and not something specifically ordered for the ReadyNAS (speculation though..), we'll see what the future brings I suppose.
Hi fm365,
As what DEADDEADBEEF has mentioned the m.2 slot is not used for anything. There were plans to utilize it but it did not go through with adding anything there.
Regards,
Thank you, I bought a nvme disk and have to return purchase now .
