Old dual Xeon server, will it work?


Buster

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have an old dual xeon server (see picture below). Since i do not have any other function for it besides making a nas from it i would like to know if i would be able to install DSM on it? I have other Synology Nasses and i love how they work. 
 

Should i try or can’t it work on this hardware?


 

 

Thanks!

i dont think its  woth trying, USCSI and PCI-X, the disks are tiny and you will not find really big disks to make it usefull, and even if, they will be slow

and cheap used desktop will beat that system and will be much cheaper to maintain (power consumption), i guess thsi old server will also be pretty noisy

also beside the fact you might not find a driver to work with that "securaid" controller, it name implies raid and xpenology a for single disks to make a software raid
