donchico Posted June 25, 2023 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2023 maybe you can post your successful build with a 8/9/10th Gen motherboard that successfully installed DSM 7.x so we can buy the same MB for our new build. Please tell us if transcoding and H265 works natively. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merve04 Posted June 25, 2023 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I run a Gigabyte B365-DS3H with an i5-8400. I’ve the years I’ve tried DS3622, DS918+, DS920+, DVA3221, and currently been using DVA1622. The reason I settled on 1622 is for the ability to support HW transcode with Plex utilizing intel quickset, this is only supported on 918/920/1622. H.265 is decoded perfectly fine with using nearly no CPU resources. Second reason is I have 5 cameras and surveillance station with the DVA series includes 8 licenses natively. I don’t use video station or photos, therefore I have no desire to try and activate HVEC encoding/decoding for those packages.

May I ask if it will also work with DVA3221? Did you add a discreet video card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be TMI, but if you just follow the part about adding a video card, there will be a lot of useful information. https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/58499-dva3221-loader-development-thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you add a discreet video card? So prior to DVA1622 being made available, I found out about DVA3221 which supported 8 cameras. I was using DS918+ running a VM within DSM as each instance provided 2 licenses for cameras, but this started getting heavy running DSM and 2 VM's. I tried DVA3221 which was awesome but due to the lack of discreate video card, I could no longer support HW transcoding for plex. When DVA1622 came around, I jumped on it and its been great ever since. The one things I've mentioned a few times around is ever since I moved on from using DS918+, my download speeds have suffered, to the tune of nearly 30MB\s. I suspect a network driver issue. I've tried several loaders, but always the same result. If I rebuild with DS918+ image, I get full 95-105MB\s. I believe the NIC is realtek 8118. I've thought about buying a NIC and put it in a PCIe slot, just never bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DS918+ only has 4 drive bays, so I am not sure if this is possible. Is there a patch or other workaround that would allow me to do this?

Pretty sure all these loaders have been written to support 16 drives. DVA1622 natively only has 2 drives, I’m currently running 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
