[Bought 1019+ (for the price of a stock 918+). Xpenology is so much quicker.]

This piece of kit is worth bout 700 bucks due to supply/demand right now, but I got one for 500. I was eager to put my janky Xpenology to bed, but the UI is so.... sluggish compared to my Xpenology with a 10 year old desktop processor. I'm really considering selling it and get a few bucks out of the deal. At least with my Xpenology, I can upgrade to 10 gb networking relatively cheaply. I love the Synology OS, but damn... their hardware sucks.

[DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6]

Outcome of the update:  SUCCESSFUL

- DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2-23739 Update 2 (JUN'S LOADER v1.03b - DS3617xs)

- Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.03b - DS3615xs

- Using custom extra.lzma: NO

- Installation type: BAREMETAL. i7-2600K, P8B75-M/CSM, Intel 82580 NIC

- Additional comments: Even with a PCI NIC, 3617xs failed to find the NAS after updating to latest version. Had to migrate to DS3615XS, and now things are running without a hitch. What a nightmare to get these things running properly, eh? Thanks for all you do JUN!
