0 sbv3000 Posted February 10, 2017 #2 Posted February 10, 2017 I think this board should work ok with the 5.2 loader without any issues, the 6.0 loader is still being refined but either way will make a good nfs box If you want to setup 12 drives, why not get a couple of cheap 4 port pci x1 add on cards (plus the 4 on board) and save on an expensive controller that you won't be using the features of? Also why not add an extra NIC? Quote
0 cookiesmonster Posted February 10, 2017 Author #3 Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks for your reply Decided to install DSM6 into a VM and test with spotweb, sonarr, couchpotato and a torrent client. I already have the adaptec controller and yes there will be extra nic's available Cheers! Quote
