You can‘t compare a V8 engine to a 1.1l eco engine, even if it‘s 10 years older, except for fuel consumption 😂 eSata is always tricky. I personally don‘t know any card which would work with DSM. If it would be my laptop I would try to sell it on eBay or any similar platform. Precisions always get a good price, even if they’re old. You could re-invest in a mITX system with enough Sata ports, an acceptable Cpu and Ram. Just my 2 cents...

Einfachste Vorgehensweise: - System herunterfahren und alle HDDs abklemmen - eine einzelne leere HDD anschließen - System wieder hochfahren und aktuelles DSM installieren - testen, ob alles funktioniert; besonders die Netzwerkverbindung - System wieder herunterfahren, alte HDDs dran und dann upgraden

Hm, maybe it‘s related to XPEnology only? I have several real Rackstations in customer service, each system with R/W caches for Btfrs volumes and I never encountered corruptions. And it makes a difference when it comes to heavy workloads with thousands of smaller files. Especially in CAD environments 🙂

Since I‘m not familiar with Russian letters I can only guess but the average response (?) time (third box to the upper right) is being displayed in µs (microseconds) while the result of the hdd show ms (milliseconds). As stated before, these results are pretty normal...

IOP/s, Read and write speeds look pretty normal for this S-ATA SSD.

Thanks for your remarks. I will only upload the portable tools, not other things from the tool 🧐

He wants to extract the exe which is possible. I will upload a ZIP which contains all files/tools.

You would have to bypass the internal flash or re-write it with one of the loaders. I don’t think that this will work out of the box without heavy modifications and reverse engineering...

A bare-metal install could be tricky and a slight overkill. I would advise to use a Hypervisor like ESXi or Proxmox. With ESXi installed you can set up a VM with loader 1.04b.

Do you have your old boot stick? If so take a look in your grub.cfg and check if you have previously modified the values of S-ATA PORT MAP. You can assign a drive letter to the stick‘s first partition with tools like the MiniTool Partition Wizard (free edition). If your S-ATA PORT MAP differs try to set this value in your 1.03b boot stick.

X1 Slot und Dual-Port wird schwierig. Da gibts meistens nur Exoten, Chinakarten mit Intel-Chip. Ob die dann wirklich laufen... Aber die CT geht eigentlich immer.

„Beide“? 😂 Schizo bin ich noch nicht 😋

Uuuh... PPTP - the weakest VPN solution. I would rather setup the VPN-Server package in DSM and use OpenVPN. It‘s no miracle and much more secure than PPTP. Only thing to do on your router is to open the corresponding port (usually 1194 UDP) for DSM (NAT rule/port forwarding). You can decide if users can connect only to the NAS or the entire subnet.

This was questioned several times. In theory: everything is possible. But why should somebody invest many, many hours of work and reverse engineering to bring XPEnology to life on such low-end systems without S-ATA connections, reliable Gbit NIC speeds, USB 3.0 and low-cpu features? Use RPi as a DLNA? There are several good working OOTB solutions (LibreElec/Kodi, etc.).

Kommt auf Deine Hardware an, zu der Du nichts geschrieben hast. Ab Haswell CPUs ist der 1.04b lauffähig, für ältere Hardware der 1.03b.

Afaik Plex stores it‘s meta files in it‘s own folder. I have the same setup on a bare-metal machine and it runs without problems.

Hm, die CT sollte eigentlich laufen. Es gibt seltene Mainboard/Chipset Kombos, wo C1E im BIOS trotzdem aktiviert sein muss, um die Karten für DSM erkennbar zu machen. Eine Alternative ist die i340-t2. Dual Port, gebraucht für ca. 25€.

Yes, I would install the last update to 5055 and then continue with the upgrade. Some users had problems with the direct update to 5.2-5967 and the best solution was the manual one by one upgrade. Reverting back a bricked system in case of failure will take more time than install some updates 🙂

First check if DSM 5.1 is on the latest patch level. Then create a boot stick for DSM 5.2. Be sure to include things like MAC address from your old stick. Boot with the new stick and check if the system comes up. If it does you should download and install all updates for DSM 5.2 manually one after another. Don’t use the automatic update function. If 5.2 is fully updated you can follow polanskiman‘s tutorial to upgrade to 6.1 and after that to 6.2. If possible backup your data and your system config before any upgrade.

It‘s also possible that the Synology Assistant needs another search run. I encountered this several times. Had to run another search once the program had opened. And be sure to allow firewall access for the assistant.

Shutdown DSM, plug in the boot stick to your workstation, start MiniTool Partition Wizard Free (or a similar software), assign a drive letter to the first partition of the stick. Then open the grub.cfg and modify the serial and/or MAC. Save your changes, go back to your partition software and unassign the drive letter from the stick. A serial and MAC from a DS115j won't work for other Synology models (AFAIK). You'll have to do a short google search for images of a DS36XX or DS918+, depending on your loader... ;)

Unlike HDDs there is no frequent access on the stick. And it has no mechanical parts like a spinning HDD. So it's unlikely that your stick will take any damage when the system is switched on or off.

Migration is the safe way to keep your data. But don’t let it download the newest DSM version from Synology. Use the PAT linked in the forum.

If you have a spare HDD left try a fresh install only on this drive with your current stick and see if it‘s coming up again after the first reboot. If it works you can shut down the system, add the old drives and power it on again.
