Is there a maximum number of drives DS918+ can detect?

[rafoloru]

Hi,

 

I'm building a new NAS with arpl-i18n and everythings goes well, except that I want to add 8 drives but the system only detect 6 of them (yes the two drive's works, I took them from an old Synology setup  )

 

- I have 4 integrated SATA port on my motherboard and I added a PCI-e card of 4 additional SATA port.
- My SATA PCI-e card (https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B07T66ZXMT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

- DSM 7.2-64570 Update 1

 

Is there a limit the DS918+ can detect?

 

Thanks

not all sata extention supported by synology. especially with data multipliers. there are set of IC that supported. but I forgot the type. maximum drive for synology is 16.

 

in your case, the extended card might have multipliers

as I remember ASM1166 are supported by synology. please kindly search deep down this forum from x4 up to x24

 

I mean ASM1166 is one of chips that is supported by Synology, there are several other chipsets
