First I have to say, Great Job on TrueNAS Scale! Super digging it. I was thinking about using a competitor but, you have to buy a license.
Question: I have 2 liberated Dell R630's with both 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v3 @ 2.60GHz, 300+ DDR4, blah blah blah.
Dell one = 10 2TB SAS & 2 120GB SATA-DOM's. booting off 2 mirrored 64GB USBs (was using 1 DOM to Boot the other as a cache but one poo'd itself so. I elected to go with USBs ).
Dell two = 8 4TB SSD's, 2 TB SSD's and 2 120GB SATA-DOM's. Ditto as above; DOM 1 Boot & DOM 2 cache.
SATADOM's are $$ and a bit hard to find. I think they are POS's my opinion.
I bought a PCI E NVME card and a 128GB NVME SSD to install into it. SUPER GOOD PRICE! So I was thinking to install it into Dell one to use for caching.

Do you think there is any benefit or this is just a waste of $$$? Hell, I don't even know if they are compatible.
