baratta930 Posted December 27, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2019 Hi all, I have a beefy xpenology box and am using a Synology DS416j as my offsite backup target. It's just not hacking it anymore I'm thinking of replacing it with a cheap N40L. If I add in an intel NIC, will this run the latest 6.2.2 using Jun's 1.03b bootloader? I can't find a clear yes/no on this so thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Berardino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfds Posted December 27, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 27, 2019 Yes it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baratta930 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted December 27, 2019 Thanks Dfds, do you have one? If so how noisy are they? The offsite is at our daughter's place and right now sits in her living room so noise will be an issue. Thanks, Berardino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted December 28, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 28, 2019 the onboard broadcom nic of the microservers should work with the latest extra.lzma that is specifically build for dsm 6.2.2 https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/21663-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm622-for-3615xs-3617xs-918/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baratta930 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted December 28, 2019 Thanks IG-88, Still debating the sound concern but for ≈$100 I might just try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted December 28, 2019 Share #6 Posted December 28, 2019 you might read here a little and use the search before buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baratta930 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted December 28, 2019 Oh I have read here and other places (too much probably :)). Most comments about sound levels are positive but there are some negative ones that worry me. I was just planning on replacing the two fans with silent ones but there are comments about the HP bios complaining when the fans spin too slowly.

baratta930 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted January 5, 2020 To close the loop. I ended up buying a gen 8 with a 1220L v2 already installed for a decent price. Hopefully the onboard AES-NI support will help. Fan noise isn't silent but it's not bad. We'll see if that changes as I move my drives over. iLO is pretty cool. I was able to get a 60 day full trial license from HP, the remote console alone is tremendously useful. Big thanks to @IG-88 for everything you do for this community. Your extra.lzma worked perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted January 5, 2020 Share #9 Posted January 5, 2020 it really is cool when you can use a virtual serial port, to access the (serial) console when booting xpenology, over network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
