Q: How secure is this against malicious attacks? Does it have a firewall and anti-virus software?

The DSM software come with a number of features to prevent malicious attacks. One of my units was hit with a ransomware attack. Nothing import on the unit as it was used for security camera video storage. I believe I was hit with what is called man in the middle hack. My credentials were taken when I periodically logged in to view the camera images. I was not taking the security seriously. Now I have turned on HTTPS and 2FA (two factor authentication). Point is that the features are there to secure you NAS but you have to make use of them. Hope this helps.

Q: would this unit support a NVME cache module?

Yes the Synology DS1522+ supports 2 of the NVMe M.2's in mirror (RAID1) for write-back cache, or just 1 of them for read-only cache. (You cannot force it to use 1 of them for read-write). Starting with the year 2022 models, as of date of this review October 2022, Synology no longer lists as compatible any drive except their own brand (vendor-lock). However, if you look at the prior version of this unit Synology 1520+, you'll see other options that DO work like certain Seagate m.2 Ironwolf (but not all of them).. Unfortunately, the Synology DSM 7.1 in these newer 2022 models will currently show a warning anything except their own brand of drives may not support all features and compatibility is not guaranteed either. Customers are not happy about this vendor-lock situation, hopefully Synology will cave in and certify other drives in the future.

Q: Can you install a 10gb nic in here?

No, this model does not have the slot for the 10gb nic. You can see this by the absence of a square cutout such as the one on the back of the ds1522+.

Q: How often is the os/firmware patched? i'd like to verify that this nas stays as secure as possible.

As needed. I've had a few updates (3 or 4) since I purchased my DS220+ last fall. Your NAS should be behind your router/firewall, and I don't allow access to mine outside of my network/home. Personally, I have no need to access it from the Internet, aside from update downloads.
