The TS-879 and 1079 have Intel i3 Processors, and use a normal socket. I replaced it with an E3-1275 Xeon processor. You can use Sandy bridge but they do not have BIOS support for Ivy bridge processors. I also replaced my memory with 16GB ECC memory. I did a lot of research about this stuff before buying it, which is why I went with the TS-1079 Pro. Works great with debian except for some lack of LED support on a couple drives and the LCD always says "BootingŠ" Sam On 7/5/13 3:23 PM, "Christoph Anton Mitterer" <calestyo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >On Fri, 2013-07-05 at 01:39 +0000, Sam Bingner wrote: >> That is because your CPU has encryption features - the QNAP devices >> largely do not; I replaced the CPU in mine with one that had encryption >> features because otherwise there was nothing that could bring the >> performance above about 80MB/sec >That's a bit off topic now to my questions, but I guess many other >people using RAIDs on their QNAPs might be interested later as well: >which QNAP do you have exactly? > >I mean they all have either ARM based CPUs, or Atom... so in my case, a >D2700 with an FCBGA559... which CPU (that has AESNI) could you find for >that?
