Hi, I am a student at the University of Cincinnati and am looking to install DSM on one of my home rigs I have: Right now: 2C2T Sandy bridge Celeron (2nd gen intel) Gigabyte MOBO (embedded CPU) 4GB ram Various 1, 2 & 3tb HDDs Vtech 4 port HBA card In the future? (when I upgrade my current gaming rig) 4c8T Xeon E3-1265V3 (I7-4790 equivalent ) on ASUS or Asrock or Gigabyte MOBO 16 to 32gb ram Various 1, 2 & 3tb+ HDDs HBA card Possibly cache SSD Possibly 10GBe if prices are right I would be looking to experiment with hosting a website, and also would like to store video content on this server. I don't know though, what image and loader version to go with. I played around with DSM 6.1 BUT any time I went through the Synology Assistant, It would brick my build. The nas would not get recognized when i boot it back up after using the assistant. So? I am looking for the best Loader and PAT file for my goals. I want a stable system, w/h expansion that I can expand to a bigger CPU and more ram. I want to play with features, but also need to know that my data is as safe as it can be. *I have a DROBO Right now, but it's been giving me headaches so i want a new primary Nas Server* ThX, Josh
