    Intel SS4200-E Lives Again

    Thanks for the quick reply. I had forgotten that the built-in ethernet adapter was gigabit!?! Not sure if Xigmanas has a driver for 2.5gb... Will try to pick up a cheap card and test it out for giggles. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Did anyone ever get gigabit ethernet working? If so please post the details. Wondering if the 2.5GB PCIe network cards available today might work or if there is an eSata to gigbit ethernet adapter...

    Yes it is very straightforward.

    You can get the latest XigmaNAS embedded version directly from the SourceForge site and then just follow the instructions above. Once you get it up and running please let us know how you fare w/ the 16Tb drives. An upgrade may be in order ;)

    One other important point that I don't know if you are aware of and don't recall whether it's specified elsewhere in this thread... the bios hides the IDE Port from the OS, but in Recovery Mode it is shown.

    For me the easiest installation method was to install a riser card in the SS4200 so I could attach an old video card and do the installation right on the NAS itself. Once I had that in place I downloaded the latest embedded XigmaNAS build and copied it to a USB stick that I had Hiren's boot CD...

    Have you installed a video card or do you want to do a headless install? Do you have an extra DOM or have an image of the old one you can re-flash if the install fails and you want to revert back to the original?

    I've been using XigmaNAS running 4 x 8Tb (ST8000AS0002-1NA17Z) drives in raid1 configuration for quite a while now and everything is peachy.

    Intel SS4200-E Lives Again

    Power supply died after 10 years of 24x7 use :( Fortunately I had purchased a backup so swapped DOM and HDs and was up and running quickly :) Got me thinking about upgrading my system again. I've read in this thread that a CPU upgrade is worth it. Anyone know what motherboard the enclosure...
