September 13, 201312 yr ...just found this: http://www.avforums.com/forums/networking-nas/1786235-xpenology-discussion.html Some OS-images claim to contain drivers for all what a good unRAID box has to offer (MPT-Fusion, Marvel SAS, Intel-NIC, to name a few). I am tempted to test this soon....just for the "why not?".
September 13, 201312 yr I've got one running just for the photo ios app. A lot easier for my wife to upload photos and rename them using DS Photo and then i copy them over to the protected array. The big issue is that it looks like 4.2 is the last version of DSM that will not be hacked all to hell to run. Synology put in some hardware checks into DSM 4.3, as they should.

September 14, 201312 yr Author Couple more links that I posted a few months ago in the lounge: ...thanks, I admit I did a search, as I remembered a thread regarding that tpoic somewhere in the back of my brains, but I did not go back in time that far.
September 14, 201312 yr I put Xpenology on one of my Microservers and ran it with 5 drives for quite a while. I liked it, but still prefer unRAID. Mainly because of unRAID is what I'm used to and how it handles and displays spindown. I think if I used the apps Synology offers, I'd use it, but I didn't really use them.
