I am so fed up with my Qnap 419 P+ NAS box. I've decided to convert it and run FREENAS. I currently own another 8 bay box running FREENAS and it has been excellent.
I've run into a roadblock. The backplane (that is the only name I know it goes by) from the Qnap is a proprietary board.
I am using this MOBO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157466
I've purchased two of these for a good price. The road block is on the backplane. I've searched one whole day for a 4 HDD backplane but I am finding singles or tripple HDDs only.
This is what came out of the Qnap

If this is posted to the wrong part of the forum, I am sorry. I am still learning this great forum.
Anyone got any suggestions as I feel that I can still get good use of the case.
Thank you for the help!!
