I bought this motherboard and I would like to know if I can easily put the stick from my N36L with Nanoboot and my 4 diskdrives with DSM 5 in SHR-1 into this board and everything would work as it did before.
Anyone experience with this?
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 everyone!
Schnapps, can you confirm me that I can install mSATA SSD (and the another 4 SATA) in the Q1900? Because Asrock say that the mainboard have minipci-e half size...and maybe it can't be compatible with mSATA.
Thanks and regards.
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

My XPEnology is currently running virtualized on ESXI, running smoothly with 2x12TB hard drives
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:

From what I saw on this forum, smart is not passed to the VM.
This is an ESX "feature"

Sancome gets credit for Nanoboot.
Andy928, Trantor, Gnoboot, Nanoboot - all different releases by different authors.
And the rest of the community counts too!
What good are a bunch of servers and a network without its clients?

Not all volumes as SSD - only one
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

Don't think so.

Now installed using bare metal guide and connected through browser is OK but through VGA/HDMI, only see the Nanoboot screen, how do you change that? Also, how do you hide the USB drive so nobody would accidently make some change on it?
TIA
That console (via VGA/DVI) is locked.
If you want access via ssh, enable it in DSM and connect via putty.

my server keeps turning it self off and i am not sure why?? all i can find is the machine says improper shutdown. any help would be great.
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.

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

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

Yes! I have wrote those lines and did the upgrade several times for several colleagues

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...

Thanks for quick reply
However, still confused
Let say I have mini-itx with dual core Atom, 64-bit capable, support 4GB DDR3 max, also some 1TB HDD, some 128GB SSD, some 16-32 GB USB... mostly used for media entertainment and/or backup center... Which route should I go? In other words, what benefit of ESXi over bare metal or vise versus? Hope somebody would elaborate a little more.
Thanks in advance.
Do you use DLNA or you want to connect it to the TV with a HDMI/etc cable?

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