someone1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2021 Hi Guys, I am currently looking into buying a new Xpenelogy machine. My current baremetal setup is a pretty old Intel 4th gen Core I7 with 16 Disks. Start to feel outdated (almost 10 year old hardware) So any suggestion whats should I buy to build a proxmox based XPEnology I know that redpill is in dev state, and i have it up and running on a 8th motherboard. Any thoughts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdull Posted October 25, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 25, 2021 I suggest to wait to see how the new AMD p state driver works before deciding which system to pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volospin Posted April 2, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 2, 2022 I would suggest SilverStone DS380 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phone guy Posted April 7, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 7, 2022 Does a proxmox machine have to be a Xeon? I just picked up an i7 4790 with 16gb (non ecc) ram, can I add a sas card to this? and use this? So assuming this, do you then build the VM for Synology and dedicate # physical drives to that vm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
