  1. Hi all, I've been a long time user of Synology and their NAS range and I love the software. My issue with Synology is they don't make a product with a decent enough CPU for Plex Transcoding (at least in the consumer market) and whilst QNAP do I find their OS not great to use. I did some research and built a 8 core 16 thread LGA2011-3 Xeon PC based on an Intel X99 m-ATX motherboard which has 10 SATA 3 ports and coupled it with 32gb ECC RAM on the basis I would use FreeNAS. But again the software is horrible and the community is so arrogant. Can anyone give me some pointers in setting up XPEnology on my bare metal machine? Linux is not my strong point but I can follow guides OK I would like to run it under ESXI and have some other VMs like PFSense, etc but not sure I can pass-through the sata controller/individual ports so bare metal is fine as it gives me a chance to build more PCs Also wondering if the intel SATA controller will work on XPEnology? I'll be looking for some form of RAID6 for my 8 3TB drives. Thanks in advance!
