vashrulez Posted March 11, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2015 Hello i'm approaching for the first time to the NAS/XPEnology world and i'd like to be helped concerning some doubt that i've encountered. First of all, I need to create a custom pc/nas with 8 sata port, for this reason i'm going to purchase the following items cpu A6-7400K (TDP = 45W) mb GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-D3H (8x sata 3 connectors) ram 2x Kingston HyperX Savage 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 case cooler master silencio 652s psu be quiet straight power 400w optical Pioneer DVR-221BK Do you think that the configuration will fit well to XPEnology? any suggestion will be much appreciated. Talking about storage at the moment i've three 2tb ntfs disks, already filled with several contents, my goal is insert them into my custom build, leave them as single disks (no raid). Is it possible? i will forced to format them due to the file system ntfs? Thank you in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bglf83 Posted March 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2015 Would suggest using an intel board with intel network adapters. I use a C2750, and bought it because its all intel, and it has not had issues. If you read through the thread on DSM 5.1, a lot of people have issues with non intel SATA controllers and network adapters. Most of it is resolved now, but the problems existed in the beginning. I think using intel will make it likely that you will have the drivers needed from the get go. If you are a super Linux guy, you might be able to compile and add drivers to the image on your own. I am not a huge Linux guy though. No optical drive, since it will not work with DSM anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your build spec. thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
