Hello,
I have XPEnology installed and working great (now) on my server. However, a few clarifying questions if someone wouldn't mind chiming in.
I have an Intel MB and a RocketRAID controller. Since the DSM software was not recognizing my 4 HDDs connected to the RocketRAID controller, I connected them to the MB directly which worked (but still 1 HDD not recognized, troubleshooting for next night ).
Questions:
1 - Does DSM handle hardware RAID 1 option? In the RocketRAID utility BIOS software, I have the option to create RAID 1 (and/or other RAIDs) or to treat all HDDs as just one combined storage bin. In other words, how would I set it up via the RAID controller?
2 - Do I even need the RAID controller for the purposes of DSM? I have a feeling the SHR or what may be RAID 5? that DSM software utilizes is software based and not hardware priority?
3 - Does someone have an easy guide how I could test out the RocketRAID 2640x4 drivers myself with DSM 5.0 beta? Also which drivers from this driver page should I download and use with DSM for testing purposes?
Thank you so much in advance for the help!
