i have one nas..just for file sharing..now after i read review i also want to use for torrent

this thing is shit! i bought one (with free one) but wtf copying to the nas speed can't even reach 2MB/s!

and with link aggregration, speed is even lower WTF

Expanding final 3TB disk in DS1812+, it would take approx 2 days for expansion and parity check. I am very happy with the purchase so far.

Am on the way to upgrade the firmware to 4.1 for my 409+.

I am just spit balling here but did you check if there is anything to do with 4k compatibility?

I believe that Mikrotik Routers can do link aggregation. I have never tried it, but you guys can try it and let me know if it works....

Read setup article here.

for those looking for HP ProLiant MicroServer N40L in Lowyat (4th floor ,same as All IT) selling at RM799,saw the display set..not sure is there any stock..
by the way, is there any N36L/N40L user? May I know how is the fan noise? I read in some website stated is very noisy..

I'm using N40L... noise is neglectable, but I guess that depends on the surrounding environment and different ears...

thanks for the reply.may i know how much you bought? any upgrade for RAM? if you were to put it in your room, are you able to sleep with is on (cos that the only place I could put)?

oh...I took out the ECC RAM and replace it with Kingston's normal desktop 1333mhz RAM 2x4GB. I bot it for around 1.3K last year.

If you are going to place this N40L at the opposite corner of your bed and you will be turning on Fan or Aircond at night, then I am sure the fan noise or the aircond noise will cover up the N40L fan noise.. Like I said, the fan noise is neglectable but not total silence of course.. also it depends also on another factor, what type of drives u are going to use.. I read that WD Black will produce much more noise than the usual WD green.

800 really nice price..

if this is true, maybe it is an indication that new NxxL is coming up soon?

hmm..At first I am thinking to use WD Green but after doing some research, WD Green is not that ideal to for NAS due to intellipark featur... so now is between WD RED (if I got the budget) or Seagate...

ah..i have been using Green 2TB since last year, 24x7 torrent seeding... (touch wood!)..

that's exactly some of the replies from other forum..from my understanding(if is correct), you will be alright if your system keep accessing the HDD for read/write.. cos intellipark only trigger after 8 seconds of inactivity. for more info

yup..the parking thingy is applied when it has a chance to take a rest. But talking about the price, 799 is a darn good bargain. Make sure it is not N36L though.. heh.

wow that is really cheap...btw the N56L is supposed to come out soon (rumors)/

Added on January 2, 2013, 7:29 amthere is this article on SPCR about how to change casing fan to make it quieter. I highly doubt it is easier than it looks though. For me it is already silent as it is.

For RM 799, I don't think it's N40L. A few months back, we were on a witch hunt for the Microserver when they started the RM 799 promo for the N36L which is still a good buy. If not wrong, everywhere was out of stock.

If the N36L is back in stock, I would consider a 3rd unit. If N40L for RM 799, I'll grab two.

Yes, to a certain extent the whining of the hardisk spindle rotation will be louder than the Microserver itself.

Yes, best is to avoid the normal Green drives. You can use Green AV drives though.

I can confirm the A4 paper at HP lowyat 4th floor said N40L. Just visit them today.

I bought N36 before at the same place. What I don't understand, when the product nearly EOL then it's will appear on malaysia market.. Same thing with N36L..

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, this is Malaysia. Sale here means get rid of old stock.
