Mate, just migrate your hard-drives and you'll be ok

Theoretically and practically, if you just do a mobo transplant as i did, you will have no issues with your data. So it's safe.

Hi Tocinillo, Natively, you can install 4 SATA HDDs and supplimentary, with a mini PCI-E half size or an addapter, you can have in total 5HDDs/SSDs in your Q1900-ITX box. I also bought a 2x SATA Syba PCI-Express-Card (2 SATA-Ports with6 Gbit/s, PCI Express 2.0, PCIe x1) and i can squeeze more HDDs. SATA2 is also working and is recommended if you have HDDs connected to the PCI-E SATAaddon card

You mean 12x 2TB right? ... Or you have some alien technology?

Sorry, I personally have no idea. You could just test it

Just copy the DSM VM files

Try to setup a MAC address, just in case

Mmmm not sure if it will work after a reinstall. Just read other causes for HDDs not entering standby: http://www.synology.com/en-uk/support/faq/568

From what I saw on this forum, smart is not passed to the VM. This is an ESX "feature" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's ok. At least we know you're alive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And the rest of the community counts too! What good are a bunch of servers and a network without its clients? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you try to use SSD cache you need two identical supported SSD drives. If you have thousands/hundreds users with simultaneous requests you may (or not) see benefits. For small home installation with handful requests you will not see any difference. Mechanical drives will saturate your 1-2Gbps links without much effort. agree Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't think so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That console (via VGA/DVI) is locked. If you want access via ssh, enable it in DSM and connect via putty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Try to setup in bios "last power or always on" state in power management. This will automatically start your nas after a power drop as this seems to be the issue. You could borrow an ups from a friend just for testing. Anyhow, for a nas, an ups is a must. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi mate, Welcome on xpenology! That system is a bit overkill for a normal nas. But if you want transcoding, all CPUs are doing the same thing. The difference comes in the transcoding time. The ram is overkill. 4GB max is what you'll need. Think about having a power friendly CPU. All components seem to be compatible with DSM Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys, Plex will use 100% of CPU on any hardware. The difference comes from the time the processor will be at 100%. In the end, more CPU cores at smaller frequency are faster than fewer cores at bigger freq Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! I have wrote those lines and did the upgrade several times for several colleagues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey, I think that you're complicating things. Do you know the "KIS" concept? Well, it's about keeping it simple. Use DSM and plain ol' RAID. It's proven to be safe. If you still want to use some mumbo jumbo geek stuff, I recommend searching for a ZFS thread in Xpenology where a user was asking for ZFS on Xpenology and used ZFSonLinux. Cheers!

My guess: If Plex would use CUDA for transcoding then Yes, installing an NVIDIA GPU would help, but I doubt that Plex can take advantage of the GPU... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you use DLNA or you want to connect it to the TV with a HDMI/etc cable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
