Thanks

Can you post a processor which supports FMA3 from ark.intel ?

This is my processor, and intel doesnt mention any FMA3

Eventhogh wikichip mentioned it

Strange

There is some conflicting information out on the interwebs on this chip.

 

However, nothing from Intel says it supports FMA3, which is believed to be the instruction set required by the kernel.

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/97143/intel-pentium-processor-g4560-3m-cache-3-50-ghz.html

 

Here's an article that says it does support FMA3

https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/pentium-g4560.c1937

 

And wikichip says it doesn't

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/pentium_gold/g4560

 

I would tend to believe Intel and wikichip.

 

Oh, so FMA instruction set support is required for the particular DS918+ ?

I thought this was AMD thing.

 

Does ark.intel mentions FMA if it is supported?

I'm planning to buy used.

CPU-Intel®Pentium®Processor Pentium Gold G4560

 

Motheboard

Planning to use for Plex/JellyFin (Local Streaming, 2 device max) and storage .

 

Is there any issue for this for loading  DSM Platform DS918+ ?

 

Please check 2nd check my hardware compatibility

Of course.
However, if possible, try the DSM installation first using the newly built Redfill bootloader and a separate disk.
If there are no problems here, you can migrate the disk with the actual data directly.

Thanks, trying to build my first nas and just wanted to know the future proof of Xpenology.

The migration of HDD between Synology and Synology only takes place of DSM migration of the system partition.

 

Data partitions are not affected at all.

So, all I need is to move the HDDs to a new PC and with the usb bootloader and I'm good to go? 

[Moving to a new machine with old HDDs]

I am planning to buy an old i3 4th gen and some NAS HDD.

 

Supposed my current motherboard and processor  died after sometime.

 

How am I to move my old HDD to a newley built PC without loosing data?
