    List of Motherboard/CPU that are the best to build a NAS for Xpenology?

    in General Questions

    add some info

    Hi everybody.

     

    I'm thinking about building my own PC especially for Xpenology. I was looking for a build guide but it seems there's none.  So, I need your experience & tips about that.

     

    Can anybody post here which Motherboard and CPU you're using (and eventually with the DSM version) ? Please, add the number of SATA ports on the MB and if they're all seen by XPEn...

     

    In the best, I'd like to find a MB which costs less than 100 bucks (brand new) and which have at less 6 SATA ports (+ M2 or Mini SATA, eventually)... and, of course, the best CPU to make the whole thing to work properly and fast enough. Let's say, 100 buck top for the CPU, too (brand new, too).

     

    Side question: I'll like some tips about a PCIe to SATA cards that would work very nicely with XPEn ... eventually, I'll open another topic if necessary...(-:

     

     

    thanks !!!!

     

     

    P.S: yeah, I know about the guide here https://xpenology.org/

    but I think we need a bigger list than just the four MB listed there (I copy the list here anyway)

    ASRock Q1900DC-ITX

    Gigabyte GA-C1037UN-EUCELERON1007U

    IO SI-PEX40064(Marvell 88SE9215) – 4-Port Internal SATA3

    ASUS H61M-A

    trying XPE... but can't find my DSM on my network ?

    Hi everybody...

     

    I'm used to DSM and synology NAS, as I use one at home (but for my work).

     

    I want to give a try to XPEnology... I got a ACER with a i5-4440, 4 gb ram, 1To ... I just want to try it before eventually use it on a stronger hardware.

     

    I got some experiences with linux and bootloader (built some hackintoshes these last few years)... I've followed the tutorial, dl-ed the bootloader for DSM6.2, burned the image on the USB drive and ok, my acer is booting on the USB Key, I'm here:

    So, I go to find.synology.com (after I shutdown my regular Synology, of course, otherwise it would find it at first) annnnnd... nothing.

     

    My internet box got a DHCP, everything is properly addressed with it (wired machines got the same IP linked to their MAC adress, wifi ones don't)... 

     

    What can I do ??

     

    Thanks for help.
