Introduce yourself here in The Noob Lounge Posted October 11, 2019 Hi, I'm Dan WHAT I HAVE/HAD : ds107 that I managed to upgrade to newer DSM that a DS109 could run. Everything looks like it was running fine. After about 6 month working, it turns out my system is failing to reboot after a few power failures. My drive work ok as tested in in a USB adapter with extre EXT3 drivers so it can be read from windows. NOW I'd like to try to build myself a system. HARDWARE I HAVE without spending: Unsure how to get info to describe my system by the important components XPEnology and DSM needs to run. Dell 7050 series micro computer with a built in SSD and a 500gb 2.5" hdd built-in. Very limited SATA interface and expansion possibilities. Hoping I can add drives via USB interface. I have 2 x 1.0TB and 1x 2.0TB 3.5" sata drive I could use once I get the new system working with the built in HDD. It would also be great to use the 1.0TB drive from my DS107/DS109 without erasing the data! Maybe re-install OS/DSM and make my old hardware work again While I build my new system and then add the drive to it! 1
