bchuter Posted January 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Wanted to start a thread where everyone can post the hardware they are using. Its nice to learn what everyone is using out there. Right now im using : Bootloader : Jun 1.01 on all systems DSM : 6.0.2-8451 Update 9 on all systems HP Microsever N40L - Baremetal 8gig RAM 4x 2TB seagate HDD's Volume = SHR / btrfs HP Microserver Gen8 - Baremetal Intel Celeron G1610T 4gig RAM 3x 2TB WD Red HDD's Volume = SHR / btrfs VMware 6.5 - Used at work for team file sharing. 2gig RAM 300gig allocated drive space from datastore Volume = basic Synology DS216J 2x 4TB WD Red HDD's Volume = SHR / Ext4 The DS216J is my main system believe it or not. I want low power consumption. So this is my main system that runs 24/7 It runs Download Station with RSS feeds to auto download all my series. I manually search within Download Station for movies im looking for. I use Photo Station for all our family photos (70gigs plus and growing each day), my wife (who is photo crazy) takes all the photos on her phone so it is auto backed up to Photo Station from her phone. I use Cloud Station on my phone to backup some folders on my phone to my NAS. I use Cloud Sync to sync my Google Drive with my NAS my system is fully accessible from the Internet and i use DS File Station to share files etc with friends and family. The HP Gen8 is a mirror backup of my DS216J with a shared folder sync setup between them. So i have 2 complete copies of all my files. The HP N40L is just a system i use to mess around on at home as well. I have no real need for it. But it is my test system when there are new loaders out or DSM upgrades etc. The VM is used at my work to share work related files between the team. We all sync to the same folder so we all have access the same set of files etc. Edited January 31, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo21psi Posted February 5, 2017 Share #11 Posted February 5, 2017 I now have 2 "servers" built from my old desktop gaming PC and a hand me down 2006 Mac Pro. 2006 Mac Pro - upgraded processors to 2x Xeon x5355 (2.6ghz quad core), bought for $25 on ebay - 20 GB DDR2 RAM (cheap amazon brand) - running headless as an ESXi server VM 1 - Windows Server 2012: for Active Directory DC VM 2 - Windows Server 2012: sql server, sharepoint for learning VM 3 - Centos 7: plex, rclone backup, and used for learning linux in general - I'm considering running Untangled as another VM on this server Gaming Desktop from 2009 repurposed as Xpenology NAS - DSM 6.02, using Jun's bootloader 1.01 on a usb stick - Asus P5Q-Pro Turbo - modded Xeon x5460 to fit socket, overclocked to 3.8ghz with water cooling. (I should probably remove the overclock but it's been stable for years and I'm scared to change the settings now) - 8 GB RAM - 4 x 2TB WD drives (2 WD REDs are new, 2 other WD drives I've had for a while and repurposed) - Coolermaster CM690 case. 3.5" bays are pretty much full but I could use the 5.25" bays with some brackets should I need to add more drives I'm using the NAS to store pictures and videos. I do a little photography/videography so there are a lot of these. I'm also storing media for the plex server and the home folders for active directory users. Since I have a separate ESXi server, I'm pretty much only using the xpenology as a NAS. I'm not running any apps on it yet. Fortunately the motherboard worked with xpenology as is. There are 5 sata ports, plus 2 more that appears to be eSATA, I'm not sure if those will work for additional drives. Yes, I know.... my power draw is probably stupid.

raidsm Posted June 3, 2018 Share #20 Posted June 3, 2018 Mac Mini late 2014 128gb ssd / 4G RAM / i5 with dsm 6.1. power consumption: 7w idle NOISELESS using mainly as a download station and as a Homebridge server in docker. I also have a Apple time capsule 3tb with all my data on it which I access from my Mac mini. Also noiseless and power efficient. absolutely everything works great also Bluetooth and network teaming. The only thing missing is the driver for the built in wifi ac which should enable me to use it as a access point / ultimate portable HDD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
