Hi guys,
Firstly some huge thanks to all who have worked on this porject so far, it really is awesome, so big thanks to you all.
I recently bought a N54L and started trying to decide what OS to go with. Was a going to go purely for something like FreeNAS which was fantastic at being purely NAS oriantated, but more difficult at adding add-ons like SABnzb etc, or was I going to go with WHS which I would have to buy, then purchase Drivebender to allow storage pool functionality.
DSM really is the best of both worlds!!!
I found my way to this via Overclockers.co.uk forums, and have installed DSM onto the N54L, but in truth, I'm unsure if I've done it correctly. I followed the guide, but for the system to boot, the USB has to remain in the server. At the moment, I just have it placed in the internal slot, which is out of the way and ensures nothing with knock it out / damage it. Is this right?
Secondly, can DSM be run purely from a USB pen acting as a HD? I have a 250gb HD in the server at the minute, but 2 x 3TB drives are on the way. Ideally, I'd like to buy a new USB pen, and run DSM from there. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.
