I'm new to Xpenology

[Paul Stead]

Hi all

 

I've always wanted a Synology NAS box but could never afford it luckily I've stumbled across Xpenology but I'm a little confused as to what I need to download to get this working. I have a fairly modern PC with 8gb Ram and a 1TB Hdd so more than enough to get it up and running.

 

Two questions: 1) Where to download the right/latest software and 2) what software do I need to download?

 

Many thanks

 

Paul

First thing's first, read the FAQ's.

Then, based on your current hardware,and your needs. you (maybe with some help) can decide what version will work the best for you.

 

Q - Do "you" (me, anyone...) need the latest software?

A - I don't think so.

 

Q - What would someone claim to be the most "forgiving/compatible" combo?

A - Jun's 1.03 3615xs bootloader and DSM 6.1.x ( currently .7-15284 Update 3)

 

Q - Where do I find the above mentioned combo?

A - Go back and read the FAQ again.

 

Q - If I don't get it, can I ask for more specific help?

A - Yes, of course
