Does it work with freenas 9.1.1?

Works perfectly fine in my FreeNAS server (FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35))

Yes, yes it does. I am using 3 of these bad boys in my nas4free server right now. All 12 drives show up perfectly and i get decent speeds with samba2. Drivers are included in freenas and nas4free latest builds. I truly recommend this card, and it is an excellent way to add 4 simple sata ports to your system.

Nope. Well, it didn't work for me and unfortunately I threw away the box and was unable to return it. I had to buy an alternate card which worked fine with FreeNas. Have a look on their site for compatible cards.

There is a driver for this built into freebsd 9.2. If the latest free as is built on 9.2 it will work, if not you will need to wait for the next update.

I didn't see anything in the documentation or technical specs that it directly supports the "USB Attached SCSI Protocol" (which is supported in Win8, but I don't think Win7). Keep in mind that the USB host controller also needs to support UASP. It should be able to natively support a 6TB drive. (Assuming the "Should" box was checked off on the engineering build sheet.) It's probably more a question of "Does your OS support 6TB in the way that you want to use it?"

So far I only see compatibility with Windows and Apple operating systems, that's with the Buffalo NAS Navigator software. You might need to contact Buffalo tech support. I am sure there is a way to make it work, because at the end of the day its a storage drive. ;)

I'm running these for iscsi each port at 9000mtu FreeNas to esxi iscsi for vmdk files :)

It should. There is one drive that Synology shows as supported for the DS2413+ so far (the Seagate ST6000NM0024), but basically the fact that one 6 TB drive works means that there are no limitations in the HW (SATA controller chips, processor addressing limitations, etc.) or the most recent DSM software that would prevent other 6 TB drives from working. Folks on the Synology user forums are reporting that they are using various 6 TB drives successfully in various Synology models at this time.

I've experienced no problems with backward compatibility in my system. (I even have a SCSI drive networked to the LaCie 3, and it works great!)

To actually load a version of FreeNAS on this over the current OS..... maybe..... I would not re-image the box. This is pretty stable and technically competes with FreeNAS. I personally run both and prefer FreeNAS over this. Saying that, this has it uses.

You are paying for their software, which is arguably the best one. I haven't tried FreeNAS but I would be very surprised if it was better. In any case the enterprise drives are the bigger part of the cost. Also these boxes come with excellent cooling and temperature monitoring.

it supports USB drives it should be fine. But you need to make sure your router is compatible with ready share.The list of routers is herehttp://www.netgear.com.au/readyshare

I setup with RAID 1, according to instruction, it also support Raid 0, 5...

I don't see it listed among the compatible sata's on www.synology.com/en-global/support/hd/model/DS1513+

Yes it should, check their web site: http://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility/hd

You could definitely do that, but for less tech-savvy users this is very good. Additionally, it is power-efficient, the software is very solid, and set-up is easy. I got one because i didn't want to fiddle with FreeNas. The community that supports the DiskStations is massive, too.In essence, this thing is simlpy a NAS, and a very stable one at that. A dedicated PC like what you mentioned could and would be much more that a NAS, and if you were only using it as a NAS you would be wasting a whole lot of power. Go to the synology website and check out the DSM 5.0 demo. The software that they made for this hardware is quite slick. You could definitely do that, but for less tech-savvy users this is very good.

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

I have the same Synology 1813+ DiskStation, set up in a RAID 6 (with data protection) configuration, and I have temporarily filled only 5 of the 8 drive bays, as I do not need the entire 8-bay (4TB each) amount of the storage, and in addition, I don't want to use these drives yet to extend their useful lifetime. Additional drives can be added one-by-one as needed. So yes, what you are asking will work fine. And this unit is a GREAT feature-packed NAS! I've had it for 8 months now, and love it.

It shouldn't matter what OS you are running. As long as your OS can map a network drive it will work

From what I have read it should. I have the Sony media running on it now. Sorry I haven't had the nas type on it yet.
