[[HELP] New Hard Drive "not detected"]

And another thanks from me!!! Faced the same issue.

[Asrock Q1900-ITX/Q1900DC-ITX]

Forgive me if already answered, just started looking into using Xpenology to upgrade to a higher capacity level than my current 2 disk synology nas, the Q1900/Q1900DC seem very enticing due to their low power consumption, however I'm ultimately hoping to go to a 6 disk configuration to maximize available space while retaining redundancy as well. Is there a pci-e add-in card that will facilitate allowing Xpenology to utilize 6 disks in a RAID configuration w/o conflict, or will you pretty much be limited to 4 disks using this board considering that the mobo also has only limited sata power outs (DC ver)?

 

Thanks for any advice

 

I got exactly the same question;

Planning to build a Xpenology machine, based on all your good recommendations here.

- Can the Q1900itx-DC also work with 2 extra HDDs with a mini PCI-e expansion card? Does that also work power wise from connection perspective?

-Can the DC version power the board and 6 HDDs from Watt point of view?

- I'm very much interested in the Coolermaster 120. It can deal with 3 3,5inch Hdds and has an 5,5 inch expension bay. Could I buy brackets to place 2 other 3,5 inch HDDs in the PSU gap (since that will not be used by a PSU, due to DC version and external supply)?
