  1. Unlikely, the last bios update is F4 released back on 29th April 2014 for gigabyte.

     

    The motherboard referred to on the first page is an asrock one

     

    That bios was updated to 1.20 back on 6/3/2014 which improved usb capability. Can't tell if the mean march or June.....

  2. I also have the USB issue but still switching from an AMD E-350 27W TDP to an ASRock 10W TDP is pretty nice in regards to power efficiency.

     

    Power consumption dropped from 57W to 38W

     

    WOL and schedules are working for me.

     

    I tried installing ESX. Quite disappointed it's not working :sad:

    38w still seems a lot given your cpu won't use more then 10W, are you using a picopsu?

  3. Won't the drive holding the nanoboot info always be spinning anyway? I can't believe a modern drive would suffer more, but on the flip side, can you make synology download and use a separate hdd just for torrenting and downloads?

     

    Thank you

  4. Unfortuantley I have been looking for a solution and not found one as I want to use the same for my DIY nas. My only thought would be to get a known xpenology working PCI card with USB ports on it. Have you thought about that?

     

    Does your LAN work okay, have you tried WOL and lastly does scheduled startup/shutdown work?

     

    Other then that, what's performance like? Any ideas of powe usage?

  5. Hello,

     

    So a bit of a newbie to this. Works fine in my virtualbox so now looking to move to a dedicated box with an i3 processor for transcoding and asrock motherboard and a few red drives

     

    Now, question is, if the M/B supports RAID, does DSm xpenology? Id so what's the best RAID setup to be using

     

    If that's not possible, what's the best way to handle the data / hdd? Or do I need to find a way of doing it permanently through virtualbox?

     

    Thanks

  6. Hello

     

    So i have this working in virtualbox on W7 via iso with a virtual adapter bridged to my ethernet adapter. Works a treat (Having followed the guide on this website)

     

    However, when i change the bridge to be connected to my wirless centrino adapter, it stops working.

     

    Question is, why. I guess its the MAC code, but what should i be changing it too? If its a MAC code i have to change, what do I change it to? I thought there was only 4 MAC addresses to choose from according to some posts?

     

    Inside of virtualboxI have tried a NAT adapter instead but still get synology assistant saying its not connected. I was led to believe that it doesnt matter whether its a wired or wirless adapter, virtual box makes the VM machine see it as whatever it wants too ( i guess a ethernet connection in this case)

     

    So what am I doing wrong?

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  7. Hello,

     

    Trying to get Nanoboot to install on a Windows 7 running Virtualbox. I have downloaded the iso of 4493 and booted with this, so far, so good.

     

    I have got through till the end and it says "Excution Error" followed by asking for a Diskstation login

     

    I guess this is root but the password isnt 101-0101

     

    Any ideas please?

     

    Thanks
