Thanks for the suggestion. I primarily went with the B version as it's available at a local store. I was able to find the version you're suggesting for only slightly more, however it looks like it only has PCIE X1 rather than X16. The Perc H310 SAS card I have is X4 I believe so won't fit in the J3455 board.. And while M2 is nice, it's not something I can see myself needing in this nas. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I've currently got a DS918+ and have been extremely happy with it. However it's almost at capacity. I've come across some very cheap 6TB SAS drives so plan to build an Xpenology build with 8 X 6TB SAS drives to replace the DS918+. A few questions if I may: I'm planning on the following build AsRock J3455B-ITX 16GB DDR3L Perc H310 in IT Mode 8 X 6TB SAS 3.5" Drives SilverStone DS380 Silverstone SFX 450W Power Supply The Asrock has the same CPU as the DS918+. Will I have any issues with: Hardware Transcoding (Plex) Running Docker (I assume not) Surveillance Station (I have an official license for 3 cams. Not sure if it can be moved across? If it works?) Is there anything I need to be aware of? Limitations compared to my DS918+? I know the specs are almost exactly the same, I just need to know if there are any concerns I should be aware of? Would love some advice before I pull the trigger on the parts. Thanks so much. Cheers
