primant Posted November 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 6, 2020 I was planning on installing my xpenology on an older homebrew server I originally built for a windows storage array. Love this site, everything everyone's doing here. Creating my xpenology with a samsung 840evo, I couldn't use it as the installation disk as it was marked as "not tested for compatibility". Today while i'm checking everything I pulled up the SSD cache page and of course it let me add it as a cache drive for the array. I'm kind of confused. I mostly get it, but if I used all SSD's for an array would it give the same compatibility message? Introducing myself, i'm Primant. i've been working in the IT arena for 25+ years now, work for one of the big IT firms as a presales architect for the federal space. Happy to be here!

primant Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted November 10, 2020 loader v1.03b with 6.2.3 release 25426 the drive was listed under available drives but would not allow me to create a volume with it, reporting that message, however it did let me make it an ssd cache drive. It's an Samsung Evo 840 120gb SSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
