Hi I read that XPenology can run "on almost any hardware". Are there any known incompatibilities/limitations that I should know about to avoid any pitfall? For my first trial at XPenology, I was thinking of running it on the following hardware if this would be possible: - MB: Asus P8B75-M LX or Asus P8Z77-M or Gigabyte ga-z87-hd3 (this one supports 6 sATA3 6gbps drives) - CPU: i3-3220 or i5-3470 or i7-4770s - RAM: DDR3 1333 or 1600MHz - iGPU - sATA3 6Gbps controller: any >=8 ports PCIe card I could find. Like, Delock 89384 (jmicron) or Delock 90391 (Marvell 88SE9235, Marvell 88SM9705) OR maybe two 4-ports cards if they are easier to find... - HDDs: 8 Seagate Ironwolf 12TB sATA3 6gbps drives in RAID5 - PSU: would 400W be enough? (I have a 750W laying around if that is necessary). Synology PSUs for 8 bays are 250W but that's a different rig, obviously... Thank you very much in advance for your feedback. Best, -a-

that to use for transcoding is only supported with 918+ and that needs at least a 4th gen intel cpu from these only the i7 is 4th gen (1st number is the gen) beside the "no sata port multipliers with xpenology/dsm" you should do some number crunching your delock 89384 has 10 ports, is a 2 lane pcie 2.0 card thats 1000MB/s for 10 disks if you are aiming for transcoding and going with 918+ the lsi sas might not be the best choice, you might want to read this https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/28321-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm623-for-918-3615xs-3617xs/ i'd suggest one or two jmb585, pcie 3.0, two lanes, 5 ports, thats ~1800-2000MB/s for 5 disks, good enough for hdd's if you systemboard has two wider (then one) pcie lane slots you can have 10 ports or 5 ports plus 10G nic the 1x slots could also be used with cheap pcie 1x 2port controllers (there is a jmb582, same as before but only 2ports https://www.sybausa.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1043 if you start with 8 disks and 6+5 ports you can still have a 10g nic and with two pcie 1x slots there are 2 x 2 more ports if you need it atm all cheaper 8 or 10 port ahci controllers (without multiplexer) that use 2 x pcie2sata chips and a pcie bridge chip use ony pcie 2.0 two lane to the hos computer so its nor really a good choice but maybe in 2021 there will be at least a cheap pcie 3.0 bridge chip that would make 2 x jmb585 cards a possible choice (asm1166 is 6port ahci, also pcie 3.0 but my test card had weird problems and the computer saw 32 ahci ports, so if going with this there might be unpleasant problems as dsm is only ok up to 24ports in the state we have it now) usually it should do, i have a 400-450W with 12 x 4TB disks

Speicher kann ich die WD Red's empfehlen, habe meine seit 2 jahren im Gebrauch und nie irgendwelche Probleme gehabt, zudem sind sie sehr sparsam im Verbrauch. Preis / Leistungstechnisch ist die 3TB Version momentan die beste Wahl. Für einen Sata Controller wirst du jedoch ein anderes Board nehmen müssen, es gibt keine so großen Satacontroller, die über den PCIe 2.0 x1 des Mainboards angeschlossen werden können, dazu müsstest du ein Board wie dieses nehmen mit AMD CPU: http://geizhals.de/asrock-qc5000-itx-ph-90-mxgxb0-a0uayz-a1212895.html?hloc=at&hloc=de Oder Board und CPU einzeln kaufen, da bleibt man mit nem günstigen Board auch um die 100€ und hat mehr Leistung aber auch etwas mehr Stromverbrauch (ca. 20-25W für folgendes): Board: http://geizhals.de/gigabyte-ga-h110m-ds2-a1370024.html?hloc=at&hloc=de CPU: http://geizhals.de/intel-celeron-g3900-bx80662g3900-a1387263.html?hloc=at&hloc=de Sata Controller müsste der hier vollkommen ausreichen: http://geizhals.de/delock-89384-a1256212.html?hloc=at&hloc=de da du ja wahrscheinlich eh ein SHR aufbauen wirst (Empfehlung), brauchst du keinen teueren Raid Controller kaufen und hast mit den internen Sataanschlüssen 14 Sata Ports, jedoch ist es ratsam das Raidsystem (SHR) nicht über beide Controller zu verwenden sondern lieber 2 Volumen anlegen. Denke auch bei so vielen Platten an ein vernünftiges Netzteil, die Platten brauchen im Spinup knapp 2A bei 12V sind das 24W pro Platte bei 10 Platten 240W. Also min ein Netzteil mit 400W würde ich empfehlen.

Hello, i have some problems with my xpenology setup. It all worked will until a few weeks ago. Nothing has changed, so i really dont know what it could be and how to solve it. My setup is: Router: Asus AC66U (latest merlin build) Switches: 1 TP-Link 8port and 1 TP-Link 5port switch Xpenology NAS: Asus P8H67(internal sata disabled) + i5 3550P + 8GB Ram Sata controller: DeLock 10port Sata3 controller: 89384 Harddrives: 2x 1TB spinpoint F1 in raid 1 6x 3TB DT01ACA300 in raid 6 DSM Version: 5.2-5644 Update 2 (problem was already there when i was on 5.1) I Run on my nas: Audio Station, Auto-Sub Bootstrap Bill, Cloud Station, Config File Editor, CouchPotato, Download Station, Git, Mediaserver, Note Station, Perl, Photo Station, Plex Media Server, Python, SABnzbd, SickBeard Custom, Surveillance Station, Video Station. My problem is: Full system drops. my system drops network, harddrive and CPU every 30/40 seconds to zero. Copying data doesnt work good anymore, cloud station is really bad. I wont even talk about using sickbeard and couchpotato. Already tried disabling all packages, but that doesnt help either. Uninstalled Plex, and used my comptuer as server with the shares, but even then the read speeds drop so it aint working either. Does someone have any ideas how to solve or what the problem could be? i already tried an H67MS-E23, other RAM, other CPU. All didn't help. I tested all disks with Seatools, they are all good. Also tried different cables and other switches. What's really weird, after a reboot it seems to work 20/50 minutes. After that it starts to throttle again. So it must be something with cache, but i dont know where to find or disable it. Thanks a lot for thinking with me! Thanks a lot for thinking with me!
