Excuse me the interference and if I talk in english (which is not even my mother tongue, sorry again). Just to let you know. You can use the mini pci-e port (removing the wifi card) to put another extra 4 ports (apart from the six that have the motherboard) with a xpenology compatible card like this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/IOCrest-4-Port-SATA-III-Mini-PCI-e-Controller-Card/362446320526?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 and using a extender if you want like this (because of the location of the wireless card in this particular board) : https://www.ebay.de/itm/Mini-PCI-E-to-Mini-PCI-E-Extender-Cord-Wireless-Network-Card-Extension-Cable-F7/223031480332 This card is used in the following xpenology configuration: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/b/MfkdnQ So, now having 10 sata ports, you don't have to sacrifice the 10gb NIC (no need another slot, you have already 2 removing the onboard wifi, which is useless). And you are right, the motherboard is awesome and future proof (as per today -not talking about older motherboards- is the best mini-itx motherboard out there of the current generation if you don't want to overclock, with amazing price/quality balance, as I compared all of them in the market -asrock, asus, gigabyte, msi- before buying it). I am also in the process of doing my own xpenology based this board (I have it but didn't start with it, just waiting for the next 6.2 final loader and drivers). I hope I could helped you in any way. Greetings, E. P.S.: By the way IG-88, you are doing an amazing job, thanks!

The question is, it can be done independently of synology releases or do we have to wait them to support it, and then make a loader capable of it? P.S.: by the way, do you have any information about release date or something?

And will it be possible to do it? I thought coffee lake was pretty much the same as kaby lake... has the same graphics card...

Any release date for the final version of it? I mean, is still in alpha, right?

And coffee lake processors? Could you update? And what do you mean about hardware acceleration? You mean for video transcoding, right?

Oh, nice!! Do you have hardware acceleration like with the 916+ 918+ images? Should be great as the processor i5 8400 has great capabilities....
