5.2-5644 is out
Anyone brave enough to give it a go

Xpenology forums are saying its safe, but the devs are warning that until they've assessed the changes not to update... basically, update if you have the balls as it appears to work and the apps all work but be it on your head!

Nah think i`ll wait

Fubared my server for a while last time cos I was too eager

I did the upgrade to 5.2-5644 , no problems so far

ANDARIAL · 30 Oct 2015 at 15:27

Think I have asked before but got no answer
Can I add another 6TB drive to my existing pool of 4 drives?
i.e. Can I add a 6TB to the optical sata port as part of my SHR pool?

ANDARIAL · 30 Oct 2015 at 16:25

and the small psu is more than capable of running 5 drives?
in your opinion of course

HEADRAT · 30 Oct 2015 at 17:22

Yes it will be fine.

With the minor updates to dsm, do you need to create a new boot USB.. Erm "xpenoboot", or does the fact it's still 5.2 mean its still ok?

I'll ask further, is the existing SHR pool made up of 6TB drives or would this be the first? If so, you'll effectively lose that drive to parity and release a 4TB for storage, i.e. you'll have 16TB storage not 18TB, but then you can then upgrade the other 4 drives to 6TB over time easily.

ANDARIAL · 30 Oct 2015 at 19:03

All 6TB DRIVES 4 OF THEM ATM
Whoops not meant to shout

BlizzardX · 30 Oct 2015 at 19:05

Yep then you'll get the increase you where expecting by adding a new drive! You can add up to 12 drives in the current version without issue, as long as you have the ports/SAS connectors!

That's what i was afraid of, i have not done an update since installing dsm on my microserver. thanks for your advice.

I just setup the Synology Cloud package and connected my desktop to it that is on the same local network but I cant seem to connect my android phone to it. No matter what I try it always says 'Connection failed' which doesn't give me a lot to go on for troubleshooting.

Is there some trick to connecting devices that aren't on the same local network as the NAS?

Should I replace windows 8 with XPEnology ?

Ive not really used windows on the microserver
