When you install TOS 5, then you are able to do that.

Hi

Is there an instruction to install TOS on M2 SSD?

I installed two M2 SSDs in the NAS, and did not install the HDD
I turned on the NAS, went to tnas.local, and it writes to me that there are no disks installed in the system and does not allow me to continue.
Okay, I added one HDD, switched back to tnas.local, he let me continue BUT for installing TOS, he sees only this one HDD, still does not allow me to select M2 SSD

How do I set TOS on M2 SSD at initial initialization?

After installing two M2 SSDs and turning it on, can you click to log in through the TNAS PC and recognize the SSD?
Can you see the SSD in the hard disk module in the control panel after you install the TOS using the HDD?
Also, is your hard drive on our compatibility list?

Sorry it was my mistake
I bought M2 SSD SATA modules, not NVME PCIe
When I installed M2 NVME PCIe modules, the system identified them and allowed TOS to be installed on them

I have one more question
After installing TOS on M2 NVME disks, the system offers to create a data volume from them
Does this mean that both TOS and data can be stored on these M2 NVMEs at the same time?
Will this leave space for applications, or should I create a volume smaller than the entire volume of M2 disks to reserve space for applications?

Yes, it means TOS and data can be stored on these M2 NVMEs at the same time. Also you don't need to create volumes to reserve space for applications.
