PincoPalla Posted February 4, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2021 Hello everyone, I'm continuing to do the functionality tests with respect to the functions I need from the DSM, today I reinstalled for the umpteenth time the DSM vers. 918+ on virtual machine; I configured 6 virtual disks on virtualbox (to see if he saw them all, the 918 would be a 4 disk) of 5Gb each and once the machine started and all the installation operations were done I went to configure the volume and the pool; In SHR it does not make me do it (which in an installation the same it had made me do) then if I do the volume in RAID5 (6 5Gb disks in RAID5) at the end it gives me an available volume of 2Gb. It's correct??? I don't think so, also I noticed that he sees the drives starting from 5 (the first is the boot) why ??? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted February 4, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) there was a old list when we tried to find out what was working with 918+ we know it needs 4th gen intel to boot for the lowers possible specs you can look here https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13333-tutorialreference-6x-loaders-and-platforms/ when it comes to new cpus there is just a core limit ( see link above) and as long as you dont want to use hardware transcoding even the latest intel and ryzen are ok for hardware transcoding (intel quick sync video) there is some kind of list in my driver for 6.2.3 thread https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/28321-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm623-for-918-3615xs-3617xs/ up to 10th gen lower tier cpu it can be made working 10600K and above seemed not to work Edited February 5, 2021 by IG-88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
