Hardware for xpenology 7

[cookiesmonster]

Hi,

 

Decommissioned my old ESXi server for something stronger and faster.

So i would like to use the hardware for a Xpenology NAS using DSM7 if possible.

 

I have a supermicro H8SGL-F with an AMD Opteron 2300 with 64GB Ram.

Maybe adding an LSI controller for more disks (15)

Using my nas for docker instances, and lots of media of my Plex server.

 

I'm also wondering if i can add one or two SSD drives for some extra speed and maybe a graphics card to support Plex?

 

With many thanks for the reply's and help

When SSD is configured as read + write cache
It speeds up library loading and library rebuilds in Plex.
