  1. Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I PoE or equivalent model are hugely impressive. Can either buy official from Amazon or grey imports from eBay with hacked version for cheaper.
  2. Official beta release details: https://www.synology.com/en-uk/dsm/5.2beta/
  3. What address / site are people donating to? I'd be happy to make a donation - I've been so impressed with Xpenology project - just not sure where! Cheers Mark
  4. On my gnoboot 10.5 install it automatically recognised a new card. Have a look for HP360NT Dual NICs on eBay - they are PCI-E, Intel based and go for about £15-20. There is also Dell & IBM variants which should work fine. Just make sure you get one with a low-profile bracket As for bonding, the GUI will walk you through creating a bond. There are different types of bonds (performance, redundancy etc - have a google about it), for full LACP bonding you'll need a managed switch on the other end but you'll be able to do a basic bond without one. A basic bond means you'll still only get a maximum 1Gbps throughput per connection - you'll only see a benefit greater than 1Gbps if you have multiple devices hitting the NAS at once. If you want a good managed LACP capable switch then HP 1810G 8port switches also usually go for reasonable prices on eBay.
  5. Anyone got experience installing on anything other than VM / Microserver?!
  6. What commands do you run to backup the partition tables? I think I'll do nye same before expanding.
  7. The problem with the p400 is that it can't be configured to act as a dumb HBA controller, it has to be used as a raid card. This means that DSM won't see disk health / status or be able to do its own RAID across the disks. Might be worth looking at replacing the controller with a supported sas / sata HBA card.
  8. Hi, just wanted to report my experience that DSM 5.0 is working fine on my HP ML110 G7 (booting off internal USB stick). Question 1: I haven't needed to yet, but will shortly be in the position where I need to shuffle the HDDs round a little. Will I be able to 'hot swap' the disks in and out or do i need to do it whilst off - I believe the SATA caddies are labelled as 'Not Hot Swap' when using it under Windows, I've also got an HP N54L though which has the BIOS revision to allow this - was curious if there was anything similar available for ML110? Question 2: I am using the onboard SATA ports in IDE mode, am I able to shuffle the disks around, reconnecting them to different SATA ports or will this confuse the Synology OS? I'd previously used the system with an HP P400 RAiD controller and that was really tolerant in this regard. I should really have done some experimenting before I loaded the data on the array (6 x 2TB) but it's a bit late now... Any advice appreciated. Cheers Mark
