Will Metis M.2 ( AXE-BME20M1AR01B02) work with QNAP NAS?

Hi there ​@negredo! Excellent question. To which I’m afraid I don’t have a definitive answer 😅

QNAP NAS systems vary pretty significantly in terms of hardware architecture and OS openness. Like...

  • Hardware Compatibility: If the NAS includes an M.2 slot supporting PCIe and has sufficient cooling and power provision, it may physically support the Metis M.2 module.
  • Software Compatibility: A critical factor is whether the QNAP NAS allows driver installation, or supports Docker with access to PCIe devices.

So in theory, it could work, if all the requirements are there (here’s a bit more info on the Metis M.2 requirements, actually), though I’m not aware of any tests that have been done at this point. Be really interesting if you were to test it out though!

What’s the project you’re working on?
