    • I expand real devices and Xpenologies via external USB3 enclosures. These are also available as internal drives via Settings.
    • This only worked for me with a DS710+ as a 3615xs. The Synology devices are proprietary boxes and not normal PCs. This is due, among other things, to the BIOS and the KBC-like parts of Synology.
    • Directly to the left of my answer you can use the up arrow to rate it and also mark an answer for the solution.
    • no, all the dsm is the same and are just complied with different kernel options and different settings from syno's config files (a little simplified) the kernel in x64 based units comes with different settings but will run anyway even if a amd based unit like sa6400 is used with a intel cpu, its not that much different the loaders pretty much do exactly that, synology intends to make model based dsm version just run on that hardare, the loader is circumventing that by "emulating" or spoofing that hardware and making it run on any hardware you have, for more or less most x64 based models (does not make much sense to have 2 slot based unit supported when there s a bigger one with the same hardware and features)   as for changing models ist pertty much all you can see in the loader you can chenge from one to another, its even a "offical" synology dsm feature and you will find lists of hardware you can migrate to from one to another, luse case ist like your 918+ out of support of support you the hardware is dead and you buy a new or bigger unit like ds923+ you can just insert the disks of you old unit ito the new hardware an the loader in that unit (usb dom) will recognise the old different system on the disk and the installtion (config files) will be converted tio the new dsm installtion that will end on the disks when "migrating" to the new hardware, thats called drive or hdd  migration" https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/tutorial/How_to_migrate_between_Synology_NAS_DSM_6_0_HDD
