Best DSM OS and boot loader for Inetl Nuc DC3217IYE


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I am trying to figure out what i need to do to install Xpenlogy into my NUC PC but i cant figure it out.

When i visit Xpenology site i get lost and confused since i am not sure what i am looking at.

Here are specs of my system:

Intel Nuc DC3217IYE

Intel Core i3-3217U CPU 1.8GHz x4

16GB Memory

128GB SSD

I will be using 1 Media Sonic 4 bay USB hard drive enclosure with this unit

So the question which DSM OS i need for this setup and Which boot loader i need so i can have stable Xpenlogy install that can run for 2 years

 

Please advise

DSM is really intended to manage SATA drives. A USB enclosure can theoretically be made to work, but only with some hacking of system settings.

 

There is nothing wrong with using a NUC for DSM, but it isn't very expandable.

 

Regardless, take a look at these threads to help make decisions about your hardware strategy and which DSM software is right for you:
