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"

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? Since AFAIK there are no[0] Atoms at all with AESNI?


Cheers,
Chris.
