Well, WoL is going to be tough job. If tested after upgrade, please keep me informed. thx

Well, the only option I can see in my DS214SE is HDD hibernation which turns off my station somehow and this is enough for me. The disks stop working and only one led is on. The time I try to log in the station fires up. So your Latitude will start via WoL either way from sleep or off?

Thx for sharing your ideas. Yes, testing just regular WoL with Windows might be a good idea. And how is working WoL in your D6420? Have you tested it?

This is a set up I was thinking about. I'm fine with only 2 disks. 1. The only thing I worry is: are these disks able to work as mirror cluster (RAID1)? 2. How about WoL (Wake on Lan). Did you manage to get it work? I made some tests some time ago and have used an old ThinkPad laptop with C2Duo processor and 4GB RAM with one HDD inside. Xpenology works ok and that time I loved Synology's DSM. But of course for a full utility I needed 2 disks and working WoL but unfortunately laptop could automatically switch off but couldn't start up with WoL. I use Synology maybe twice a day for 1-3 hours so it's really important to me that the machine will be suspended at no use time. I often use it remotely so WoL is a must have. For now I've bought Synology device DS214SE but I'm very dissapointed with working speed. The old laptop with Xpenology worked about 5x faster so in the end the calculation is very simply: for same money you can get A LOT faster machine working on Xpenology.

Have anyone used 2 disks laptop for Xpenology? I'm interested in setting up RAID1 on it. I plan to buy some C2Duo or i3 laptop. The laptop choice is motivated by low power consumption and low noise work.
