  1. Исходя из выше сказанного, то наверное это лучший выход. И обратите внимание на самосбор, нежели на продукт от Сино. Он будет в разы лучше и дешевле. Тем более, что вы уже на форуме по этой теме )))

  2. indeed, that's where I found them. Mighty have to order 20x of them to make international shipping 16,000km worth it 😆

  3. Скачайте готовый загрузчик https://github.com/AuxXxilium/arc/releases arc....vmdk-flat для ESXi. Подключите его на SATA0:0. Добавьте диск(и) для системы на SATA0:1 или SATA1:0 или прокиньте в виртуалку SATA контроллер или диск, добавьте памяти и процессор и запускайте. Есть руководства по установке на виртуалке.

  4. I would like to once again urgently point out the need to back up every DOM of Synology + models. It's done in a few seconds. Simply run via SSH with root: dd if=/dev/synoboot of=/volume1/myShare/DS412+synoboot-6.2.4u5.img where "myShare" is your share for general purpose. Of course, it only makes sense if the file is then downloaded from the Synology to another location.

  5. We actually do these many times for model changes, and DSM downgrades. But not from serial port. Only from eDOM(Disk on Module), or eFlash Drive. That little daughter board that sits on your motherboard if you have a PLUS unit. And you have to change 3 things on the eDOM and your done. Both for DSM downgrades and model changes. The eDOM is really just a USB Thumb Drive. Yep. You can connect it to any pc just like a Thumb drive. It has 10 pins on it. And Synology only uses 4 pins on it. The rest are for support. To keep it in the socket. The 4 pins Synology uses is just like a USB Thumb drive. +, -, Read, Write. That's it. Now just copy that Boot OS from the drive. Change a few letters. Done. What's nice is they sell these little 10pin eDOMs on eBay for like $5. So you can have a few for your system. One on DSM 7.2.1. Another on DSM 6.2.4. Or even another on DSM 5 if you want. The Linux way is very tough. Let alone one mistake and you can hose the system if no backup is available. With eDOM as long as you have a copy. And mistakes, and your back to normal again. Now this is just my opinion. So here's the real question. Why would anyone want DSM 7.2.1? What do you gain over DSM 7.1? Or even DSM 6.2.4? Nothing. What do you lose? Alot! I mean alot! In fact Synology trolls areas to get people to update from what I see. One of the big reasons Synology issues DSM's is to get rid of stuff it hates paying for. MONEY is what talks in the NAS business. That's it. All they care for. So you lose tons, Photo Station. Hard Drive Compatibility is now worse in SDM 7.x.x. Wifi Dongle is gone. Surveillance Station drops many camera licensing. And more. The list is pretty big to name a few. A whole lot more. The best DSM they ever made was 5.2. Maybe DSM 6.2.4. And the NAS carries a higher value on DSM 6.2.4 on resale over any other NAS. Nobody in serious NAS apps use wants them. As a Synology Service Center. Its all we get requested. DSM 6.2.4 or earlier. Especially on a NAS that can be updated to DSM 7.2.1. Nobody wants a NAS on DSM 7.x.x. WHY? They have apps that only work on the older DSM's. And they don't like the limitations in the new DSM's. If you read the Synology release 2 years ago they mentioned why the new DSM7 series was set out. Over 6.2.4. A little riff raff about useless bug fixes as a joke. Making you think your NAS will crash. But that wasn't it. Mainly they didn't want to buy into more costly licensing for their apps. Mainly Surveillance Station was costly for them. Photo Station too. They have to pay for that stuff per license. If you think its security bugs. That's a ploy. Synology doesn't have any bugs. And nobody is going around trying to hack NAS's. Let alone serious NAS owners are behind some pretty good firewalls. And the security of DSM 6.2.4 was for the 99.9% of us enough. We don't need anything else. I also get asked about the updates here at the lab. I recommend all of my customers to please do not update to DSM7.x.x. Any version of it. Unless you know it has something you really need. And I can tell you. 99.9% of the NAS users out there don't have what DSM7 has that you need so bad. We just have so many issues with it from a service side, let alone all the stuff you lose with the apps. Why would anyone do that? Believe me when I say what I say. I'm the only Synology Service Center in the USA. There is another in Germany. My partner. And we see countless NAS's daily. On all kinds of DSM's, Linux Home brews, people trying to fix NAS's with 100ohm temp fixes. You name it. Today alone was 4 units in. One from Google even. RACKS and Desktops. When I say don't update. I mean it. You just set yourself up to lose so much. And in some models, this updates modify's the bios. Not all. But on some. What this means if you make a mistake, or decide you want Photostation back, you hate the new "PHOTOS" app. You can't go back no matter how much you try with coding. Because the bios is not in the coding. The coding side your on is the Boot OS side. Synology is getting trickier, and know. They are putting permanent markers in the bios coding. And once in awhile I get a NAS that is hose from coding, trying to go back to DSM 6. Only the people who have bios files like us can save those. That's an added risk you take. I think Xpenology has the best idea you can take. That too I am building cause I love it. But if you do this coding on a NAS. I wouldn't. If its coding for your Xpenology project. Say a DS1515+ to DS1517+. Perfect!
