Omar Chiyean Posted June 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2022 Hi folks... As you can see in the tittle, I have this discontinued NAS iOmega ix12-300r which specs are: StorCenter ix12-300r/8TB, 8 TB SATA-II, 2U, Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3GHz CPU, 2GB DDR2, Gigabit Ethernet, 3x USB 2.0, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 As far as I know, it has a hardware RAID Controller, but I don´t have the data of it. The problem is that i can't get hard disk to make it work, 'cause they aren´t manufactured now days. So I was trying to set it with 2TB WD Red, but with no lucky... So the alternative was to try to install on this box DSM. Hope there is a light to the tunnel end!!! Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinavril Posted June 23, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I have one ix4-200, which is an ARM based CPU. Very old version. I guess probably no chances. Edited June 23, 2022 by justinavril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadreel Posted June 23, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 23, 2022 That is a VERT old CPU. Since is an Intel CPU in theory it should work but only for 3615xs, 3617xs and maybe give a try to 3622xs+ and 1621+. DS918+, DS920+ require a CPU that is above 4th Gen (around 2014).

Omar Chiyean Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted June 23, 2022 Thanks for the fast response... So you think it could, what about dsm 6? The process described on that post applies equal to all platforms, even this box? Thanks again for your help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
