Hi, there is a way to boot from an internal hdd? i have already a dedicated hdd cause i used another nas and i dont want to use an external usb

Does Surveillance Station work and can access cameras via mobile like in genuine Syn NAS? Only 2 camera license limit here as well? Can we hook up more cameras?
Thank you!
The hardware is not supported from Synology. That mean we can't use the QuickConnect. Is it correct?
You don't have to run this from a USB stick – I did it with an NVMe drive, although I used a USB NVMe caddy to initially install it on to the drive with Rufus, then slotted the drive into a m.2 slot on the motherboard and booted from there. Obviously, this will deny you a slot for SSD caching but I installed this on an all SSD system.
Great vid though – very helpful
If ive got several external e-sata 4 bay towers connected to a pci e-sata card will it work on that pc ? How does drivers work with synology

Hello! Great Video this is awesome. How to bypass "Invalid serial number" to allow sign in -> Need this to enable external access.
The NVMe port doesn’t work I’m trying to used SSD cache but doesn’t find my NVMe port 🥺 HELP!
hi brother i have a ssd i need to boot on my ssd without usb stick what can i do ? Help me to resolve this
why do I always boot with a flash drive, when I remove it it doesn't work?
Quick question. I got it to work. But AME was not working (it wanted me to sign in) so i tried changing the S/N. But now Arc DSM Mode is missing, and it just keeps going into config mode.
So I'm building my nas and want to know where these files are installed? Should I install a 128gb SSD for the installation and after that load in my storage drives????
My laptop doesn't have a lan port, can I install xpen?
Just a quick question, is this set up is safe to keep the files for long run as it is an unlicensed synology OS (no support from synology). Second, in case if the OS is crashed, can we able to restore the files from hard drive. Thanks
Hi, i can set up this NAS but could not set up quick connect to access nas from outside. When i try to login with my synology account it gives an error ‘invalid serial no’. Could you pls advise, many thanks
how to connect our device remotely as syn. NAS
unfortunately didnt work: after install i get the arc loader, then: booting DSM….. This interface will not be operational.Wait a few minutes….
Everything works ok but when I find Synology, says NAS have not a enable storage… My HDD was format with Linux and Arc Load too but I cant get works
Very nice video. I have recently installed another Synology and I am using it. However, no matter what I choose with 8 disks, I can run a maximum of 4 disks in the system. I wonder if I can run 8 or more disks at the same time in this system.
Thank you very much, i want use in minipc with one SATA SSD and external USB das terramaster, but your tutorial its the first that works to install the basic. I will test what ca i do. And i have an old ds215j😂
I just get the following on boot. GRUB _
Cant go further sadly.
Will be the HDDs able to physically migrated/moved between 2 different custom installed DMS computers by this method ?
failed to get models, please try again error. any ideas?
After booting up from the usb, i get stuck at "can't connect to grubhub. switch to offline mode!" it has an active internet connection though. "For API checks you need to configure loader first"
What are the minimum requirements for the PC to use Synology – CPU, RAM, system harddrive and data harddrives?
can i run the DSM machine without the usb in it after the installation is completed?
Great video but please fix your audio. It is hard to understand you.
Great video, the best and easiest loader yet!!
