unmesh Posted February 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2021 I'd like to put together a x86/x64 1-bay NAS with a 10TB 3.5" hard drive and drop it off at a friend's location as a remote NAS backup target but the SFF/Thin-Client PCs I see are typically designed for 2.5" drives. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough and someone can suggest devices. An alternative would be to hang a USB 3.0 drive off a power sipping thin client running Xpenology which would look a little kudgey. I've found the instructions to have DSM use USB drives as internal drives but is this a bad idea? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unmesh Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Very nice form factor! Though dual 2.5Gbps is definitely overkill for the application Does DSM have drivers for the RTL8125? Thanks.

unmesh Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted February 14, 2021 I found a post that talks about compiling a driver for the RTL8125 for the 1.04b DS918+ loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
