Hi,
I am a student at the University of Cincinnati and am looking to install DSM on one of my home rigs
I have:
Right now:
2C2T Sandy bridge Celeron (2nd gen intel)
Gigabyte MOBO (embedded CPU)
4GB ram
Various 1, 2 & 3tb HDDs
Vtech 4 port HBA card
In the future? (when I upgrade my current gaming rig)
4c8T Xeon E3-1265V3 (I7-4790 equivalent )
on ASUS or Asrock or Gigabyte MOBO
16 to 32gb ram
Various 1, 2 & 3tb+ HDDs
HBA card
Possibly cache SSD
Possibly 10GBe if prices are right
I would be looking to experiment with hosting a website, and
also would like to store video content on this server.
I don't know though, what image and loader version to go with.
I played around with DSM 6.1 BUT any time I went through the Synology Assistant,
It would brick my build. The nas would not get recognized when i boot it back up after using the assistant.
So?
I am looking for the best Loader and PAT file for my goals.
I want a stable system, w/h expansion
that I can expand to a bigger CPU and more ram.
I want to play with features, but also need to
know that my data is as safe as it can be.
*I have a DROBO Right now, but it's been giving me headaches
so i want a new primary Nas Server*
ThX, Josh
