A snail Star models

Yes, I bought a snail interplanetary, interstellar fact snail on a section of the D, I changed a lot of things down, in addition to the chassis and motherboard, other accessories have it all, but the snail is the most expensive piece of interstellar Board , and in internet search, the board generally sold about 180, in addition to a separate chassis D models sold very little, if any, is fired is very expensive, it is generally required $ 150, the price of which add up to enough for me to buy a new snail interstellar machine, so, snail Star or buy a suitable machine, buy individual parts are not worth it.

A version prefer the appearance of money, buy a single i211 card, which count in interplanetary snail second cheap, about 250 dollars on it, but the machine still has minor scratches shell, internal motherboard and fans have gray, should be used for some time, but fortunately not too much, work is also no good D models, metal thin, much lighter than D models, it seems that you pay ah.

A basic models are ZUMAX power, this power is inside snail interstellar work best, and basically do not need to be replaced, which in turn saves a lot of money. A section of the machine than the more removed easily paragraph D, to remove the motherboard, a new replacement 8CM quiet fan, the cleaning of the chassis and the motherboard, on any connection with a new same.

Dust work in general, is not above the lock key, which lock equal to decorate, but fortunately it was busy selling fish on this key, guilty of obsessive-compulsive disorder, or bought. D section of the hot-swap board is composed of two large 4P power, to the A section is only a large 4P power, if you fill up the four hard drives, I think a long time, certainly with the power supply is not up, but also well I do not need hot-swap hard disk directly removed.

In addition, paragraph A 2.5-inch SSD bay, the beginning block 120G SSD installed, the installed Win10, running speed can be, can be placed next to the TV to be a HTPC, but I rarely turn on the TV to see, but also because I have a TV box, the box can do a lot of functions, so I chose Synology installed, do nothing at present head directly used to keep surveillance video right after the other if the replacement motherboard and then toss it. Note that, if the home is more than one machine fitted with a Synology DSM, the best card into their true address, modify grub.cfg file, otherwise, Synology Assistant can only identify one of these machines IP address.

D525

In addition, I now in addition to the snail interstellar D models, as well as Lenovo D525 before you buy a small chassis, but because this machine is older motherboard, and can only be installed Synology 6.17 version, version 6.2 is tried, no matter What guidance have failed, BIOS settings and very wonderful, it is worth mentioning that this machine work is good, external power muted doing so good, but power consumption in general, have tested about 20 watts of power in general, and the snail Star measured out only about 17 watts.

This machine can be accessed by 90-degree half-height PCI card, hard to find, even if the expansion card even hundreds of megabytes are not, do the routing software is not very good, while it is not installed Win10 graphics driver, and no sound drivers installed Win7 only install XP considered normal, so only use is the best choice as the NAS, in theory, be able to mount two 3.5-inch hard drive. I pulled the machine front panel is rotten, optical drive originally white metal block, later I sprayed black, so looks better, the machine is currently idle, tossed aside.
