To install two M.2 NVMe drives as RAID 1 and an additional M.2 NVMe as cache on the ASUSTOR AS6702T, follow these steps:

1. Install the M.2 NVMe Drives
- Insert two M.2 NVMe drives into the available slots for RAID 1.
- Insert the additional M.2 NVMe drive into another slot for caching.

2. Access ADM (ASUSTOR Data Master)
- Log in to the ASUSTOR NAS interface.
- Open "Storage Manager."

3. Create RAID 1 for the Two M.2 NVMe Drives
- Go to the "Volume" section and select “Create.”
- Choose the two M.2 NVMe drives and select RAID 1 as the configuration.
- Follow the prompts to complete the setup.

4. Set Up the Additional M.2 NVMe as Cache
- In "Storage Manager," go to the "SSD Cache" tab.
- Select the additional M.2 NVMe drive.
- Configure it as a read or read/write cache based on your needs.
- Apply the settings.

5. Verify Setup
- Ensure the RAID 1 volume is active.
- Confirm the SSD cache is functioning as expected.

This setup allows data redundancy with RAID 1 while using an extra NVMe drive for improved performance.
