    See link to the Arc bootloader in my signature below.

    Installation is extremely simple: download the image, write it to a USB stick, run it, select the model and version, answer all other questions ok. After rebooting, find using Synology Assistant and complete the installation of the DSM with downloading from the Internet.

    I can't see your signature neither in my phone nor my computer. Would you post the link to Arc so that I can give it a try.

     

    Thanks.

  2. Hi. My hardware is NUC7PJYH2 ( specs https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/126137/intel-nuc-kit-nuc7pjyh/specifications.html )

    I have created the boot image in the usb drive, but when I start the nuc the boot only shows:

    Loading linux

    Loading initramfs

    Booting Tinycore for lader creation

     

     

    That's as far as it goes. My device has a J5005.

     

    I tried different loader versions in github, all of them being 0.9.x.x

    I don't know if a 0.8.x.x would work. The only ones I can find in github are 0.9.x.x

     

    On another device with an 7th gen i5 I can continue and successfully test-installed dsm 7. The loader continues to boot, but on the j5005 I can''t, it gets stuck on those 3 lines I mentioned before.

     

    I have used several versions of TCRP with no success, both legacy and uefi.

     

    Any ideas on how to continue or why it gets stuck on those 3 lines?

     

    Thank you.

  3. In my lan I use ip address. Over the internet I my ddns domain. I rarely use DS File out of my Lan, so I could stop using Ds File app if necessary in case that solves the problem. About the verification option you mentioned, I'll give it a try.

     

    I'm just surprised that my friend, who has got the same hardware and dsm version, has no such ssl issues.

     

    Other apps like Ds Get https work fine and I can use https over the internet.

    Self-signed certificates are only accepted without warnings if they are imported in the device‘s trusted certificate storage/pool as root certfication authority. 

    How can I solve the problem? I'm sort of a noob. Using the DS File app is not key to me. I can either try to fix the certificate issue or simply stop using that app as long as it doesn't mean any security risk.

     

    Would it work to simply renew the certificate? Any issues with that?

  5. Hi. A friend of mine is thinking about buying an intel nuc to use it as a nas. It's Intel Nuc BOXNUC6CAYH with a j3455 cpu.

     

    Any issue with this nuc and its cpu?

     

    Recommended loader and dsm version?

     

    Anyone sharing their experience?

     

    Thanks.

    Yes, it will say SATA or NVMe. This discussion is starting to go sideways.  Let's backtrack.

     

    Your NUC has the ability to connect to a single SATA drive with a SATA interface.  It does not have an M.2 slot (required for an SSD on a card).  M.2 slots can support either NVMe or SATA SSD's depending upon the chipset and motherboard capabilities.  Again, you don't have one.  So you cannot use an adapter either.

     

    So the discussion of NVMe drives is academic. You cannot use one with your NUC in any case.

     

    The Ironwolf page you linked has both SATA SSD and NVMe drives listed on the page.  You need to be sure to buy the correct one.  The 2.5" form factor models will work.  The M.2 2280 card slot model will not work.

    Thanks. I was aware of the different connectors, but somehow I got confused and mistook there was a nwme which was the same as sata. 

    The page I linked contains an nvme, which I didn't notice. Mine was the sata ssd.

    Thanks everyone for your help.

    thats just normal SATA3

     

    no nvme is pcie and if you bring that into connectot for hdd's its called U.2

    the m.2 slot can have more types of connections usable for devices then just pcie

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2#Form_factors_and_keying

     

    if you have a sata ssd and m.2 with m or b+m key then there might be sata on the connector too and you could get it to a normal sata connector by a adapter (link above)

    or you use the pcie to to do the same as with a normal pcie slot and a sata controller, the sata controller is just smaller and more fragile

     

    the small housing and the power supply can be a problem as you not just need a m.2 card with a sata connector on it you also need sata cable, power cable and room for a 2nd disk and all that without blocking the airflow to much

    usually you think about the system design before you buy one, having just one hdd aka no redundancy is not suggested but if you have 2nd nuc and mirror you data in (more or less) realtime then you might be ok with just one disk, might be a better solution then going to far out of the systems intended design

    Thank you very much. The link was an interesting reading. My ssd states Sata, but somehow I got confused and thought it wouldn't be compatible.

    like this

    https://geizhals.de/?cat=hdssd&xf=4832_4

    and then take the exact product code, but there only seem to be max 2TB for sata

     

    one a other way is to use a (mechanical) adapter to get the sata connector from the m.2

    https://www.amazon.com/SATA-NGFF-Adapter-Power-Cable/dp/B01FE8NKC2/

    or use a m.2 card with pcie connected sata chip like asm1061 or similar

    and use a normal sata 2.5" ssd

     

    My ssd drive has got a sata conector with a specified maximum speed of 6Gb/s. Can I assume it has nothing to do with NVMe?

    If the question is: "can you use an SSD as a regular disk for XPe/DSM" the answer is yes if it is a SATA SSD.  NVMe SSD's cannot easily be used as DSM really only supports them for cache.

     

    How can I know if it is a regular Sata SSD disk or a NVMe SSD? The drive I intend to use a main and only disk is Seagate Ironwolf 3.84tb Red Nas Ssd https://www.seagate.com/as/en/internal-hard-drives/ssd/ironwolf-nas-ssd/

     

    How can I know if it is a regular Sata SSD disk or a NVMe SSD? Any feature in the specs I should pay attention to?

     

    Thanks.

    DSM is installed on all drives by default & cannot be changed.

     

    I already suspected that it Dsm cannot be relocated to another drive once it is install. In order to do it I guess a fresh install would be required, right?

    I meant if there is any problem to do a fresh install on an ssd. This would be the drive Seagate Ironwolf 3.84tb Nas Ssd https://www.seagate.com/as/en/internal-hard-drives/ssd/ironwolf-nas-ssd/

    I played around with Plex a few months ago and neither my TV (WebOS 2) nor several AndroidTV boxes could play movies with embedded subtitles. I always got the message that Plex would need to transcode them, meaning I would have to pay for Plex Pass. 

     

    If you depend on subtitles and don't want to pay, take a look at Jellyfin which is a free Plex fork. 

     

    I don't know how old your devices are, but WebOs 2 sound pretty old (8+ years???). I have been using (free) Plex with no problem in subtitles and video and audio. My Fire Tv stick and my Lg Web OS 4.5 could manage subtitles perfectly. With my Web OS 4.5 LG tv transcoding worked line a charm with avi video files and dts audio. As for the fire tv stick, transcoding h265 files (1.5gb) work fairly well. I have replaced my old tv and fire tv with a brand new lg web os 5.0 and everything works fine too.

     

    A little remark. When I say that transcoding worked fine, I mean Cpu transcoding, not GPU transcoding.

  12. Thank you very much for your quick reply. I intend to go for loader 1.04b and dsm 6.2.3 or newest release available. I just wanted to know if anyone has the same device and could guide on the best choice.

     

    As for hw transcoding in plex, I am not planning on paying Plex Pass for now since my tv's are relatively new and would manage most of recent codecs, so I'll skip Pass. I just wanted to know if free hw transcoding was possible in case I would need it. But if I happen to need it, I guess CPU transcoding would do.

  13. That's surprising. A friend of mine has just built his xpenology with an Asrock J3455-itx 4Gb and 1x2TB WD blue 2.5" and he reported 9w by using a pico psu. I don't know if there are any differences between your M mobo version and my friend's itx. Are you using a standard psu or a pico psu?

     

    Could I know what bootloader and Dsm version you are using?. He had some trouble with newer dsm versions, so he finally installed 1.03b on 916+ with dsm 6.1.7.

  14. Hi. I have a built with an Asrock Q1900-itx with 4Gb Ram and a 2TB WD Red drive.

     

    I know it is a very efficient mobo. I'm not trying to be stingy on consumption. The point is that my psu is somehow old and I may replace it, so I don't know if I should go for a regular psu or a pico psu. My current built with my old psu consumes 19w on idle (no hibernation because of plex).

     

    Those having the same mobo could you, please, post your consumption on psu or pico psu? Please, indicate how many drives you have and if they are 2.5 or 3.5w.

    Thank you very much.

  15. Thanks. We had seen the thread before. His cpu is apollo lake. He tried 6.2.1 but if was unstable and transcoding didn't work at all. I may be wrong, but I think transcoding is not possible in ds3615. That's why he chose 918.

    He has found a what seens to be the solution in this thread 

     

  16. I am finally able to transcode by using Emby. I could also transcode under Plex, but it was smoother on Emby. Plex didn't allow the drives the hibernate, whereas Emby does (you need to disable automatic port mapping if you want the drives to hibernate).

     

    I don't know if it is hardware transcoding or software transcoding (does software transcoding exist?). I just know I can play h265 video on my old Samsung TV, and I can play old avi videos in my new LG tv.
