I've finally completed BYON including the documentations.

 

Here are the final 3 posts.

Last but not least, please participate in this poll for two short questions related to BYON.

3rd setup - U-NAS testing results are out!

 

3.4.1 U-NAS Performance Test

3.4.2 U-NAS Functionality Test

 

If you are interested, take a look and compare XPEnology results with it.

I will post Benchmark Charts soon.

Yes, an E350. It does more than a good job for this kind of NAS.

 

Maximum power load 147W (1.3.3 Power Supply Selection)

 

Oh i see... What i meant was, 147W is the estimated max power drawn based on 6 HDDs during bootup.

Hey mate,

You packed there a really nice DIYN blog! Congrats. I hope it will help some people into choosing xpenology

 

I've tested them all(except U-NAS) and in comparison to DSM, they kinda all suck.

 

Later edit: I own a watt-meter and i had checked my nas. It's in full load at 55W. Yours is close, not ~120 as you mentioned.

 

Thank you!

I am glad that the information I've documented serve useful reference for others.

This is contribution to the forum which I have benefited from

 

I suppose your NAS is a E-350? Your full load at 55W is pretty modest considering you have 4 HDDs.

But I don't recall mentioning anything about 120W?

Thank you for the great work guys, keep it up.
