Synology Branded M.2 on 1619xs+ -- NOT COMPATIBLE?

[allebone]

Weirdest Thing ever...Synology Branded M.2 NVME in builtin slots on 1619xs+, shows up, firmware is good, etc. Just looks right, but when trying to create an SSD Cache, says its not compatible.

Confirmed with Synology, and I got some vague thing about 1621 and 1619, and power planning, etc. But I am encouraged to use random non-Synology branded drives. Wild.

Anyone tried the Script to see if this particular setup works?

Strangely Synology never updated the compatible drive list for the RS1619xs+ when they released their Synology NVMe drives. The list includes 11 different 3rd party NVMe brands but not Synology.

Synology_HDD_db will add them to DSM's compatible drive database.

It way bizarre. I ran the HDD Script yesterday, and it pops up a warning in the DSM Web Window about a drive not on compatibility list, but in th actual storage window, they show Green and ready to go. If I initate an SSD Cache, it finds no compatible drives, but yet...they are there green and happy. Its bizarre. No issue in the HDD Script output either

Out of curiosity, i used the "-f" option on one of our test devices (1619xs) and it allowed it then. So its possible!
