sirius Posted November 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2015 Hello My Synology DS211+ is full and I'm thinking of building my own NAS with XPEonology on it, instead of buying 1815+. It's going to have 6x WD Red Pro 6TB drives in SHR-2 + 256GB Samsung 850 Pro for caching. I was looking a video where Logan from Tek Syndicate built a NAS using FreeNAS, which uses ALOT of ECC memory for ZFS, RaidZ and whatever else. How about DSM and/or XPEnology ? How much memory would it need for a 6x6TB configuration + SSD caching ? I don't wanna stuff my board full of memory if Synology doesn't use it. However I will, if it does. My goal is ultimately performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0fh Posted November 13, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2015 I would be worried about SSD caching on XPEnology. It has been fairly problematic and inconsistent with support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirius Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted November 14, 2015 Any examples as what's problematic about it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0fh Posted November 16, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 16, 2015 The fact that it has (twice in my experience) caused a reboot loop where the system will not boot with the drives installed and set up a an SSD cache. It is currently being reported with the latest build 5644 now if you look through the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
