Hi
It runs at 59W typical use, including an Intel X520 10Gb card now...

Tell you what - these latest core i3 CPU's rock!! I looked at building an older server, but the price of building a brand new 'low end' one outperformed most that I could see for half the price of a 1019+

Balrog,
Yes it took a bit of searching but finally found it. Gave me a heart attack on reboot when the machine would not come up a couple of times - had to choose the reinstall option from Jun's boot menu and hope that it worked!! It actually did, and everything seems to work find now...
Thanks for your assistance - I now have absolutely every feature working and very happy with it

thanks heaps I actually found that patch and got it working - same for my 10Gb card. I just forgot to update the post!!

Hey Bono2007
No, I don't use the 2 x onboard Gb ethernet at all - I don't see any benefit since I now have an operation 10Gb running.
No, you cannot use the M.2 as part of the volume. It can only be used for SSD cache from my understanding,
I don't have any other devices YET with 10Gb - my nic for my PC was lost in shipment and I am waiting for another one to arrive next week. As soon as it does I will update...

I've sorted both the NVMe drive and the 10Gb card.
If you hunt through the forums there is one - NVMe cache support - that details how you can get it going on a DS918+ build.
With the 10Gb card, its nice and simple - you have to disable the onboard Intel cards in BIOS as you cannot recognise more than 2 nics in a 918+ image.
So everything working! Now I am putting it all together step by step for myself so I dont forget what i patched (eg the CPU patch so I can see my cpu correctly in info centre)...
Gotta love modding

Can you confirm if you can use hw transcoding in plex? 9xxx CPUs were difficult in the past, so I moved to 8xxx
Hi there!
Well from what I am seeing definitely yes it is working. When transcoding to my iPhone, as per below Plex dashboard telling me Transcode (hw) and the cpu on the Xpenology not going higher than 3%. When it was sw transcoding I was getting 90+ %
Happy to show other details if you wish...

What a fantastic community and system!! You guys rock...
Loader version and type (918+/3615xs/3617xs): 918+ with Jun's Loader 1.04b std version with the std driver extension from IG-88
DSM version in use (including critical update): DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 5
Using custom modules/ramdisk? Hmm is this IG-88's extra. files? If so yes
Hardware details:
- Intel i3-9100
- AsRock Z390M-ITX motherboard (dual intel nics onboard, 6x sata connectors, M.2 slot) running UEFI boot no problems
- 8Gb RAM
- 4 x 8Tb Seagate Ironwolf (from old NAS)
- Fractal Node304 case (brilliant ITX case)
- Intel X520-DA2 10Gb card (not working as yet)
- 256Gb Adata 256 Gb SSD for cache (not working as yet)
Next task is to work out why I can see the nic and nvme in telnet, but DSM cannot...

I'm also using this motherboard.
- Fractal Node304 case (brilliant ITX case)
- Intel i3-9100
- AsRock Z390M-ITX motherboard (dual intel nics onboard, 6x sata connectors, M.2 slot)
- 8Gb RAM
- 256Gb Adata 256Gb SSD
- 4 x 8Tb Seagate Ironwolf (from old NAS)
running Jun's Loader 1.04b std version with the std driver extension (hw transcode working, dual nic's working) setup as a 918+. I used the drivers from IG-88's post "Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+"
DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 5 working fine.
HW transcoding working.
I have both of the internal intel onboard nic's running no problems, cannot get wifi up but I believe that the build of 918+ limits to 2 ethernet adapters. I also haven't got the NVMe M.2 cache running as yet...
I have an Intel X520 10Gb card in it too, but waiting on all my cabling to see if disabling onboard nics will let it be seen, otherwise I might have to try a different build.

Hey a newbie (to here - but over 40 years IT experience!!)
I've had a DS412+ for the last 8 years and finally decided to make the move to a new model. I then discovered Xpenology in the last week and have never looked back...
I am running: all brand new hardware, latest gen:
Fractal Node304 case (brilliant ITX case)
Intel i3-9100
AsRock Z390M-ITX motherboard (dual intel nics onboard, 6x sata connectors, M.2 slot)
8Gb RAM
256Gb Adata 256Gb SSD
4 x 8Tb Seagate Ironwolf (from old NAS)
running Jun's Loader 1.04b std version with the std driver extension (hw transcode working, dual nic's working) setup as a 918+
This post from IG-88 is BRILLIANT!! "Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+"
DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 5
The above setup cost around 2/3 of the price here for a real synology DS918+, at significantly higher performance and much more flexibility.
A few comments to hopefully help people here:
- it is surprisingly easy to initially setup - the turorials on here are fabulous and I am very impressed with the community
- Test and play with the setup using an old sata drive to work it out before going to your real disks
- You CAN migrate from an old Synology NAS to your new Xpenology !! I could not find anything on this in here so did a full backup first and then put the disks into the new setup in the same drive sequence as on the DS412+. On first boot, with NO change to the grub.cfg I had working, it asked if I wanted to migrate and it did successfully!! I had everything in an SHR array.
- I used the dummy serial number in the grub, but used the ream mac addresses from my old Synology and all the transcoding issues seem to have gone.
- It is stupidly fast now compared to my old one, and from the specs I reckon that I would close to double the performance of the 918+ too.
Issues:
I've just plugged the SSD in and DSM can't see it - but it shows up in the sudo fdisk -l as per below
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I've also plugged in an Intel X520-DA2 2x SFP+ 10Gb network card and it is not being seen at all - neither in ifconfig, or in DSM. I set the grub.cfg file with 4 x nics and added two more macs, mac3 and 4, continuing the sequence from my original macs.
Can anyone please advise me where i should look or what I may be doing wrong? I don't know Linux well and cannot find any reasonable hwinfo type commands here...

This is with a standard 9100. Yes, I am a Plex pass subscription and hw transcoding is active.
Plenty of issues in building lol, but once I found the brilliant post "Driver extension jun 1.03b/1.04b for DSM6.2.2 for 3615xs / 3617xs / 918+" and chose the std files to add in everything just worked!
Only things to patch afterwards was the cpu idnetification, and getting the nvme cache drive running.
When I get some time I want to put a step by step guide for those of us not knowledgable on Linux to make things easier!
