    No you dont need that. That came about because of ZFS and advanced functions like scrubbing and deduplication and l2arc etc....
    Should be fine, as long as Xpenology supports your hardware. Remember its an unofficial port of Synology's DSM, you have community support at best. 
    No you dont need to wipe your array
     
    Refer to my first answer, 8GB is plenty of memory for storage.

    You could have 1PB of storage using MDADM (What Xpenology uses) and you wouldnt have any difference in memory utilization.
    You dont need more memory...memory becomes more important when you have a large amount of file access and advanced features like in ZFS or ReFS

    boy2litle got a reaction from shadow_evillink in HBA cards vs PCI-E to SATA 3.0 Expansion Cards   
    Hi guys,
    In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAy9N1vX76o Linus is using 2 hba cards.
    I come across with this LTT video pretty recently. Because I've decided a while ago to build a NAS, I've thought to expand the number of SATA ports on my mother board, to use 2 x PCI-E to SATA3.0 Expansion Card Adapter (PCE8SAT-M01 8-Port PCI-E to SATA3.0 Expansion Card Adapter 6Gps PCI-E16X for Win).
    Now my question is: In a NAS, should we use SATA3.0 expansionn cards or HBA cards? Why should is choose one over the other. 
    In what way the NAS effectiveness it will change?
     
    Thanks in advance!
