I have an existing Synology RS3617xs+ with 12 drives in it and a Expansion unit RS1217RP with another 12 drives in it. I would like to convert this unit to be TrueNAS core and was wondering if anyone has done this? I am not worried about saving the data on the existing unit.
The Synology hardware for this unit looks similar to that of some of the TrueNAS X10 units. It has an Intel D-1531 processor (2.2GHz / 6 cores) which can take up to 64G of ECC RAM, an Intel 10G dual port network card in one of the PCIE slots. It also has 4 on board 1G NICs but I am not sure what brand. I am not sure what type of disk controller card Synology uses, but their filesystem is BTRFS which is a software RAID like ZFS so would assume ZFS would have direct access to the disks.
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance!
