  1. 1- 6 drives is possible, basically, you need to...

     

    - Run an eSATA to SATA cable from the back of the box, through a blanking plate and into the top drive bay.

    - Get a molex to dual SATA power cable.

    - Find some way of mounting two drives (I used one of these: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/15856 ... 0-AKS.html)

    - Upgrade the BIOS to one of the hacked versions to enable the eSATA/ODD to run at full speed (emulates IDE otherwise).

     

    2 - For DSM, you'll have to format the drives.

    3 - There's plenty of info on the net about this already.

    4 - See the nanoboot instructions on the forum.

     

    BTW, i'm not running DSM on my N36L yet - the above setup was for WHS2011. I plan on building a new server for DSM, migrating the data to it and then rebuilding the N36L with DSM as well.
