So I built my first NAS with older equipment. But I also have an X570 Asus MOBO and a 3700 cpu, so I was thinking of upgrading my setup to use the newer equipment. But I'm not taking any RAM away from my dasily driver and the older system is DDR2 or whatever came before I built stuff. So...

thank you very much! I'll try that tonight if possible. but I've bookmarked that page for future reference in case i need to reformat due to making more new mistakes.

I think I've added a link to 2 pix of my drives. I had originally names them black and white because of the colour of the headers on my mobo. But it appears to me that 2 of them are designated as removable or as disk drives. I've done nothing differently in the setup, so my guess is its the mobo...

Thanks very much for your answers, I appreciate it. I've put a couple comments/questions in your attached post.

so with the last 2 commenters of the last page,-------------------- from SFX and L&LD ---------------i see that a nas is a complete waste of time and money. I should have bought 3 computers at 3 different locations and do the same work on all three because if I don't, my drives will die...

thats what i was thinking, im not running a aaa game or anything, the biggest use will be to watch tv, and fool around with VMs so i want more ram for them.i have the 4 slots for the memory, the ASUS p67 Sabretooth board was built for overclocking. something i knew little about when I had it...

thx, i wasnt sure about installing them in my rig to test or testing first, very glad i can do it in the rig and in parallel

so the second picture of the dark coloured ran is in my system, i believe they are two 8 gig sticks, and I had taken out the two blue ones as an upgrade, does anyone know if I can simply add them in or will they slow the system down due to the different clock speed? I think that's why I took...

Thx, That'll be tomorrows chore then one thing i realized is that i need more sata3 cables and possibly more power connectors for the drives. I've been searching through amazon trying to find the best deals

and i see that my sbreP67 has 4 sata 6 and 2 sata 3 ports on the board, any suggestions as to the best routing with them?

whats the best way to set that up? I've downloaded the WD test software and was going to put 1 drive in my main machine at a time tro test, but obviously thats slow. So thwn I thought that i could put them in my home made nas, I've got Ubuntu downlaoded and running, but i didn't re4ally want...

ive tried unbunutu and liked it, I''ll go with that, thx

a very basic question i never though to ask, what distro would you suggest i go with given that I : 1) building a nas 2) would like to try doing some VM's 3) would want to run media off of it to my home TVs and over the internet to my buddy. Please and Thanks I got my WD Red drives, I've saved...

sounds like4 a plan, i'll receive in a few days and hook them up

which of course is what i just screwed up on buying the drives from the same place last night. I'd seen the price on amazon the day before but yesterday it was gone, so i was afraid the sale was over and that my big computer store was just slow revoking the price. while my wife doesn't...
