People:
Onkar and Roy



Goals:

  1. Install mSATA drive

  2. Confirm all four 2TB HDDs work

  3. Install windows10 to mSATA

  4. Create spanned drive with all four HDDs

  5. Document Process



Log:

  1. installed mSATA drive onto motherboard

  2. created win10 bootable USB

  3. followed windows10 installation instructions

  4. confirmed all four HDDs show up in Windows Drive Manager

  5. created span drive to group all four drives as one shared folder

  6. documented what we did several hours after doing it



Notes:

  • FreeNAS is old

  • ITX motherboard with single 4pin CPU power plug (basically can't upgrade to new board without also having to replace proprietary power supply which may be difficult)

  • 8GB total of DDR3 ram

  • will connect to internet and update drivers and windows later
