BobC Posted January 26 Share #1 Posted January 26 Hi, So 3 of my clients' DS1515+ servers died. I was able to get 1 working by replacing the PSU. The other 2 motherboards were fried. I would like to avoid throwing those carcasses in the land fill. Synology doesn't supply motherboards for systems that old. My question: Is there a motherboard from any company that would fit in that case? Maybe with a better CPU? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukodar Posted January 28 Share #2 Posted January 28 (edited) Hi, look for Chromebox-like computers, they can fit there together with external M.2 SATA controller. Pinouts of backplate can be soldered directly to SATA cables. This is motherboard from Asus UN45, for example.

BobC Posted January 29 Author Share #3 Posted January 29 That looks interesting. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted January 29 Author Share #4 Posted January 29 I had forgotten what a Chromebox was because we don't deal with those. We do handle Intel NUCs which has i series CPUs. So now that I'm thinking miniPC a whole lot of possibilities open up. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
