Seems to be working, will install some software after it finishes expanding. Posted via Xpenology.us

Ferno, in case yiu want more than 12 drives: https://xpenology.us/tutorials/miscellaneous/more-12-drives Currently firing up a VM with 12 drives, will keep you posted. Posted via Xpenology.us

As far i know thats a known issue on 5592 and its fixed in 5644. You can try to upgrade, if it doesn't work then you can downgrade. Posted via Xpenology.us

What brand did you use? Posted via Xpenology.us

Just insert the new ram and enjoy. Same as for the CPU. Yes, will write a tutorial when I get back home. Posted via Xpenology.us

If you use NAT network you have to forward port 5000 to your virtualbox. If you used bridged adapter, then you can find xpenology by Syno Assistant. Posted via Xpenology.us

You can request drivers here: http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1361

I have seen build with 20 HDD's so i doubt that 12 bay's will is a problem (bare metal). Running bare metal here, so i can only guess what went wrong. Did you try with another hypervisor? Will try later this week a vbox with 12 disks and report back. Posted via Xpenology.us

I prefer WD red's, silent and better headparking timings. Posted via Xpenology.us

Going to pickup their router next month ^_^. Will post a review on xpenology.us Posted via Xpenology.us

Octavean, what HDD's do you mean? Seagate Archive HDD? WD Green? WD Purple? Posted via Xpenology.us

Sometimes its needed to reboot 2 -3 times. Posted via Xpenology.us

Yea, the drive numbering isn't kinda logic with xpenology. My setup is detected as following Disk 1 -

I strongly advice you to keep SHR raid, and not switch to raid 0 (striping). If you use striping, and one disk dies, you will lose all your data. Best thing is, delete volume, create a new one as shr 1. My setup is the following: Volume 1 ~ 600Gb for Packages and logs Volume 2 5Tb For storage, Volume 1 and volume 2 together create disk group 1 (still following it ?). Posted via Xpenology.us

Shall i post this tutorial on xpenology.us for future reference? Posted via Xpenology.us

The 9 slots available is how many disks you can insert, default is 12. SHR 1 is provding 1 disk fault tolerance, that means if 1 disk fails, you will still have your data. You can calculate the availble storage here: https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator Keep in mind that eg, 2TB is not 2tb but 1.8tb orso. Posted via Xpenology.us

As long you don't have any important data on it you can remove it. Did you created the volume as a SHR volume? Posted via Xpenology.us

If you go to Storage Manager, volumes, can you click the 'Manage' button? Also, can you pleqase make a screenshot of the Volume and Disk Group tab? Posted via MyXpenology

Did you expanded you array? Posted via MyXpenology

Butter_fry, did you enter: http://1drv.ms/1T7J48A as url? If so, that not a direct link to an image. If you have any questions drop me a mail (see contact page) Posted via MyXpenology

Keep in mind setting a controller to IDE mode comes with a preformance penalty. One last question: I've found many questions during setup about Synology services, like Quickconnect. Is it possible/safe/recommended to enable and use them in XPEnology? This is possible, explained over the forum a couple of times. Basiclly its easy as: - Generate mac an serial - Put the mac and serial in syslinux.cfg If you want, i can write a small how to =). Posted via MyXpenology

Thanks for the info, will fix today. Posted via MyXpenology

You can replace the I5 with an i3, replace the 16GB with 4GB or 8GB. You can access the nas via SSH, incase of network problems / NIC not reconized, then you should plugin a screen and keyboard to find out what is wrong. Posted via MyXpenology

I currently have: Core i5-4460 16GB Mem ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac Silverstone DS380 2x 1TB 2x 2TB It can held up 8 drives hot-swap space for 2 ssd's. Feels very responsive, running same apps that you want some docker containers. Posted via MyXpenology

I do have a ds380 too, will look at the backplane when I get home. Posted via MyXpenology
