alexvd Posted August 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2013 Hello, I am very interested in running XPEnology on my own hardware. I have been running a Synology rackstation for a couple of years but the performance is dismal and I now have the need to run heavy transcoding. One of the features I do love about synology is the power saving features. It is possible to get the same level of power saving with off the shelf hardware as synology does. Does the hibernation and spin down of hard drives and other features of DSM still work. I want to build a rackmount server with a Haswell Intel CPU and supported motherboard. I will also need a powersupply that is ultra low power and efficient along with hardware based raid and support for 4-8 drives. Has anyone built a server like this yet? Can anyone reccommend motherboard, powersupply, etc hardware configuration. I want the lowest TDP Intel Haswell processor with CPU to do heavy transcoding. All this would ideally be supported via DSM so it could run at very low power usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
