## What it is
A shell script that automates creating an M.2 NVMe storage pool and volume on Synology NAS devices running DSM 7, without requiring Synology-branded drives. It handles RAID creation via synostgpool so users only need to finish volume creation in Storage Manager.

## Use cases
- create an M.2 NVMe volume on my Synology NAS
- use non-Synology NVMe drives as storage pool in DSM 7
- set up RAID on M.2 drives in a Synology PCIe card
- create SHR or JBOD pool from internal NVMe drives
- configure NVMe storage pool on Xpenology with many drives

## When to choose
- you run DSM 7 or later on a Synology NAS or Xpenology with NVMe drives
- you want a guided interactive script instead of manual commands
- you need RAID levels like SHR, SHR2, JBOD, or RAID F1 on M.2 drives

## When to avoid
- you are running DSM 6 (use the v1 release instead)
- your M.2 drives are SATA rather than NVMe
- you need a dry-run mode or SATA M.2 support removed in v2
