Host is Hyper-V 2012R2 and client is Windows 10 Technical Preview and mostly probably SMB3 is used Don't forget that the speed of your rig is 100% connected to the RAID matrix used and the drives inside. I have a SHR1 matrix with identical HDDs (well not identical but 3TB drives) and that's a RAID5 which is not the fastest but not the slowest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I'm moving some vhdx files and that's the speed I have. Constant speed to be frankly it's 115MB/s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jumbos are needed from what I know only on 10G networks and must be activated on both the client and the server Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a constant 120MB/s transfer on big files@HyperV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You actually need only a JBOD SATAII card. Why? Because DSM will build the RAID matrix and SATAII because of a limit you'll never reach with actual HDD drives. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The J1900 - Bay Trail Intel chipset can't be (yet) used for VMware ESX-based installations as the setup is crashing. My suggestion is to use a J1900 and go for either Hyper-V or bare metal. You can switch on the way too. Why J1900? Because it has a strong quad-core CPU that can handle and parallelize a lot of tasks. And because it has a TDP of 10W. It's silent, strong and stingy in regards to electrical power. There is a big difference between WD RED disks and other disks when talking about power consumption. Choose RED disks. You can also go for SSD drives as power consumption is near 0 in comparison to a WD RED drive but they're a bit pricey for their size Take in consideration that (in theory), each PCI slot consumes in average between 10 and 15W of power (just with something plugged-in) If you want a 24/7 xpenobox and consume few watts/h don't use PCI slots. My system consumes in full load CPU+Drives 37-38W. That's 2x 3TB WD RED disks and 2x 3TB Seagate disks Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does Hyper-V support something equivalent to the ESXi Raw Disk Mapping function? Are you able to pass through SMART data through the hypervisor to the DSM OS? SMART is not working for pass through disks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pass throughout disks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ran on bare metal but then I wanted to have also some more machines running in background. Now I have 7 machines on this small rig Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm using nanoboot 5.0.3.2 with DSM 5.0-4493 Update 7 on Hyper-V 2012R2 and everything is working wonderful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

all 4 cores are working. what you see in the gui is just a hardcoded information from the original Synology DS3612 product

Guess it will but you'll have to find out by yourself and share it here too. I didn't know Q2900 appeared

"Beerware" Now, where are the "Like" and "Thumbs up" buttons? Do you want me to put " send a beer" button instead?

Why bother now? It's just a beta. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rock solid. 2year for me on this box. Kept all my data over upgrades. Oh, btw... RTFM mate. Please! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're welcome. Lucky shot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plex? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see and use the LUN with a W8.1 PC :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not needed mate. Use DLNA if TV and NAS are in the same network Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IDE for compatibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the hint! Mine was also disabled

Uhh, sorry! My bad. I don't know why, i thought you were talking about DSM 5.0-4493

I have the latest update and it's 5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi again mate, DSM is not power hungry at all. Most of us are running our XPEno boxes on low-power dual-core CPU's like Atom. Some like to add more power to their machines just to use the transcoding feature as good as possible. I personally don't use Plex that much. I use DLNA a lot. I am using an ASRock Q1900-ITX because it can host up to 6x SATA ports, has an embedded low-power 10w TDP, quad-core, x86, passive-cooling CPU. Normally, you wouldn't need an i7 or i3 unless you're doing transcoding for plex but even though, transcoding will work on a less powerful CPU just that the task will take a bit longer. DSM is working with 512MB RAM and will work pretty good for normal usage, without any databases or memory intense applications. Most of the users are adding 2 to 4GB of RAM to their boxess mainly because of... commodity Here are 2 screenshots of my system usage when doing a rsync backup to my 2nd NAS http://i.imgur.com/lHX4vCA.png http://i.imgur.com/yEKQ6m0.png I have 16GB of RAM because i want to switch from a bare-metal installation to ESX but didn't managed to get the time :-/
