orico cf56 pro

[Alpharius Omegon]

Hello all

I took the plunge and bought and installed HexOS on my kickstarter backed Orico cf56 pro as the inbuilt OS is absolutely **** and i mean **** as the limitation of only able to create one SMB share and only one. and the amount of data it tried to send back is concerning but that’s in hand as my Firewalla Gold Plus is a god send when stooping that type of thing

For those who wish to install HexOS on these i would suggest HexOS as this was a little frustrating as the only monitor i could get a signal was my Samsung G9 super ultra wide and the install screen was stretched so much it was hard to see the install instructions but it is possible and is an improvement but one think i have noticed is that that CPU Thread 13 to 16 does not have a Temp next to it in the web interface 

 

For reference below is the Setup on my Orico cf56 pro

CPU: 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1240P

RAM: 16GB DDR5 5600mhz

HDD: 5 Seagate Ironwolf Pro 16TB

NVME: 2tb ORICO (this is the Install Drive for Hex OS as I'm leaving the inbuilt 128gb for the Original OS i have just taken this out of the boot look on the Bios)

LAN: 10GbE*2

 

My next update in the coming months on this would be to increase the RAM to 32GB and I'm currently looking at installing "geekau / mediastack" on this as i have already installed Portaner enterprise thought the TrueNAS interface after i have coped all my Data from my ageing Drobo5n.

 

any questions welcome and also any suggestions welcome.
