yes, I would take the SSD cache bits also.
I thought that too, until several people I know had their QNAP units cryptolocked - https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/09/12/cve-2022-27593/
Will try to sell all-in... because if I split it, into raw components the SSD card and M2 drives just end up as landfill, likely the HDD too.
I learned a very long time ago to only run a NAS as a file server and not as anything else. I also learned that the worst part of having a NAS is updating the software to ensure it's secure and stable, and I'd rather leave that to a company to get right on pain of it being an existential threat (to them) if they screw it up. To get that means buying their hardware, and I'm fine with that.
