Can the two M.2 NVME ports be used for anything other than caching? For example, just to store the NAS OS or whatever?

Helpful answer

You can cache on a read-only volume with a single m2 drive or read/write with 2 m2 drives. Not for the OS, at least not officially.
Afterwards, if you find the OS slow, you can add more RAM and remove memory compression (16GB recommended).
