First of all this is awesome! Looks like exactly what I am looking for!
I have a Synology NAS that I use as my primary. However, I like backups, like a lot of backups. Backups of backups. I have a bunch of old hard drives I used to use in the Synology but they are all different sizes and I have been trying to find a way to utilize them. To save money, I have been trying to get one of my old PCs to be a cheaper alternative to buying another Synology. I have had issues getting XPEnology to show up on the network, but before I continue troubleshooting I just have one question.
Can I use all different sized drives to make a volume?
I have tried 1.04b and 1.03b but it never shows up. For those interested my specs are below:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb Quad-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W HDZ965FBGMBOX Processor
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH
Installation Issues but Should I Continue?
