rojoone2 Posted November 12, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2022 @Onknight I have to say, there is something to be said about keeping thing simple and removing anything you may not need. I have a Dell R620 with a H310 flashed to IT mode still using SAS drives using TRCP with Peter Suh's Mshell I built a RS4021xs+ A custom built PC with a Gigabyte motherboard with a 9th gen CPU and 4 x 4tb Seagate NAS drives with just and added NIC, DS918+ used TCRP I do feel that ARPL works very well.. especially for device-tree-based models like the DS920+ and DS1621+.

Onknight Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted November 12, 2022 My only concern now is 7.2 is on the way And I'm wondering it will be ready so our systems can keep going This particular version of software is just so user-friendly I tried truenas and I hated it it's not user-friendly at all And I don't like openmediavault either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be too concerned keeping up with the latest DSM updates, I still have a box that I run DSM 6.2.3-25423 on. The others I have updated to 7.1.1, but one of them is just for testing. Don't update until its okay to do so from the developers.. especially since this is your production box. See here: As far as 10 gig NIC cards go, I don't use any because as of right now, I don't have a need to.. But @painkiller895 noted that they tried an Intel X520-SR2 that works out of the box: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onknight Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted November 15, 2022 Okay so I'm already thinking ahead My old case server case Antec P183 had tons of room but it's falling apart The Del case is fine for now but I want to eventually get a case that can contain 12 swappable Bays Doing a search on line has left little to be excited at so far a Antec P101 Silent Performance has 11 bays is the best I can . 9 Front bays and 2 SSD in the rear. I'm using all five SATA ports on the original board I have SATA where are four ports work that gets me up to 9 And I'll have to find a second card to add the other three ports to get me up to 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojoone2 Posted November 16, 2022 Share #9 Posted November 16, 2022 What card did you remove from the DellT110? Are you able to flash that to IT mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I took out I don't know anything about flashing and it mode I have standard 5 IDE ports and I'm using all five right now I have an IDE card I'm going to install I actually have this card up for sale because I have no use for it Edited November 16, 2022 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojoone2 Posted November 16, 2022 Share #11 Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Yeah.. looks like an old PERC 6/i. You are better off trying to sell it because I don't think there is any IT firmware fir it.
