sorin Posted January 25, 2014 #1 Posted January 25, 2014 I'm new to the forum and I was looking to build my own XPenology NAS but I was surprised not to find a list of confirmed hardware that works (or doesn't) It would be great if those that have it tested could complete the list, making easier for others to know know what to pick or what to avoid. I made a wiki-like spreadsheet here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... wb3c#gid=0 Thanks
HDMann Posted January 25, 2014 #2 Posted January 25, 2014 New here too, and have been testing this for the last week. I added my configuration to your doc and I hope you get a good amount of feedback. So far, my system is working astonishingly- I'm able to move files from/to a Win 8.1 setup across a gigabit network at 80-100 MB/sec. That's far faster than my DS410, old CS406 or D-Link DNS-321.
gjanssen Posted January 25, 2014 #3 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi I also put my config in your list. I'm looking to build a new machine so i was also looking around what hardware is suported but i can only find older motherboards with s775 or s1155.. I'm looking at the s1150 platform with an i3 processor.
gjanssen Posted January 26, 2014 #4 Posted January 26, 2014 Just addes a whole new MB in the list. It is pretty cheap but all features a nas need, pretty fast, a lot of USB ports and 6 SATA ports. Toghether with a i3 or maybe (when available) a Pentium processor this is a totally good platform.
gjanssen Posted January 29, 2014 #5 Posted January 29, 2014 Does enybody have a problem with WOL? With my Intel SS4200 this works perfectly (Intel NIC) and with my other board (Gigabyte with Relatek chipset ) it doesn't work.
suiL Posted February 1, 2014 #6 Posted February 1, 2014 Hi, can you add a Format section into your list? A person like me who search a mini itx motherboard, should search ref in google to know the format. It's little be enoying.
HDMann Posted February 2, 2014 #7 Posted February 2, 2014 Quick update: After a week, the Xpenology NAS is running well- no issues affecting reliability. Currently running Transmission (2.42), Couch potato, Sickbeard, SABNZBD, Plex, Python 2.7.6-7, Midnight Commander ('cuz I'm Lazy), and Syno Antivirus. Shares working normally and streams effortlessly to my KD Links 720. About 40% of 12Tb used with Tv series and movies (Sd mpg/avi, 720p MKV and 1080p m2ts). The single issue I have is that I haven't been able to get the WOL after trying all options in the bios (S3 and S1 options as well as the "auto" power resume options). If someone has a NIC which does allow setting the "WOL" option (Control Panel>Hardware>Enable WOL), I'd order it and give it a try.
stanza Posted February 2, 2014 #8 Posted February 2, 2014 If someone has a NIC which does allow setting the "WOL" option (Control Panel>Hardware>Enable WOL), I'd order it and give it a try. there isn't one,... control panel can't be used this way you have to manually edit the two files /etc/synoinfo.conf /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf change any line (for the amount of interfaces you have) like eth0_wol_options="d" to eth0_wol_options="g" and then change the line wol_enabled_options="g" to wol_enabled_options="" your nas should then wake on lan
HDMann Posted February 2, 2014 #9 Posted February 2, 2014 Re- stanza: thanks much! I edited the files and will give that a try. Cheers, HD

Are you using a Gigabyte B85M-HD3 motherboard? Did you get the WOL to work?
