Hello all.

 

At some other forums, i've always found interesting to find some sort of recommended/tested hardware for reference. I know you can guess it from the posts in this forum by diggin into them, but maybe it's a good idea to set up a list here too.

 

If you think this is too a good idea, contribute!

 

Template for hardware submission:

 

//* Suggestions welcome, this is just a 1st approach

System name (or motherboard name):

Ethernet:

RAM:

# Disk capacity:

Bios settings required:

Extra hardware needed (if needed):

Install method (you can provide link or a short description):

Files involved (it would be nice to have the files linked here):

And i'll start by myself :smile:

 

System name: HP Microserver NL40L

Ethernet: Onboard Microserver Gigabit + x1 PCIE Realtek 8111E

RAM: 8gb (totally overkill, ill be taking 4gb soon from it)

# Disk capacity: 5 internal bays (esata port not used)

Bios settings required: You need to update your BIOS to the modified one that enables port 5-6 as AHCI sata. You also need to touch BIOS a bit to fit your needs. (i've set all bays to external so i can hot-plug them)

Extra hardware needed (if needed): I had to add a HD dock to the optical drive bay to get the 5th disk (cheap one from amazon) Nothing else. I replaced the fans (both psu and outtake) to quiet the box a bit

Install method: Followed nighthawk guide as in this post http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6. Since i'm using 3tb disks i can't boot from the hard disks, so i need to use a USB (internal header) to boot.

Files involved: Go look the thread, my files are probably outdated.
