![]() I am just missing the drive lights on the server and I don't use them anyway. Now everything is set.īeing a newbie to DSM I need to read how the whole setup needs to be done. ![]() Entire installation hardly lasted for a hour. after all copying is done, removed the harddisk and initiated the installation. Whole exercise of moving content to HTPC Was slow due to file conflicts. In worst case scenario I still have whs system drive to go backto WHS. ![]() EX495 seems to have better hardware than synology, existing EX495 are recommending them.īought a new WD Green 3 TB HDD to backup movies into it and use one of the two 2 TB Green disk from existing WHS to install synology and try out. But I want to get the maximum out of EX495 and accidentally hit upon Xpenology ( It is synology, open source DSM ported to work on non synology boxes). Now after I decided to upgrade was thinking of couple of options. ![]() I'd also upgrade it to 4GB RAM but the DIMMS are quite pricey. Only important thing I backed up with redundancy was photos and home videos. The easiest way to install stuff on these headless machines is to connect the OS drive using something like VMware workstation to a PC and install to the target drive and then insert the drive to the EX495. I had no issues with WHS, as I don't use remote sharing and it served me as file server for my HTPC and Sonos needs. After 4 years of using Windows WHSV1 and just an RAM Upgrade from 1 to 2 GB, I have decided to perform an upgrade.
