  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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😂

  7. 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"
