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.

You're welcome, but I would be happy about a voting then, above 0.

There's an internet archive for this sort of thing

Probably only @IG-88 can help.

Have you already tried the version 6 assistant?

You'll probably have to remake the friend from scratch. Or ask @Peter Suh for help with a repair.
On a real Synology the files would now be shot on the internal flash.

Ja, Du musst nur eine existierende ("echte") Seriennummer mit den zugehören MAC's dieses Synology Modells benutzen. Alle drei Werte (Modell, Seriennummer, MACs) bilden eine Einheit, die valide sein muss. Dabei findet kein Abgleich des Gerätes in anderen Synology-Konten statt 🙄🤐

A standard Btrfs volume, i.e. not the proprietary SHR, can easily be read and written using Windows drivers. These two drivers has to be installed.
Linux filesystem Btrfs:

Linux MD software RAID devices:

Linux "ddrescue" can be used for backup and restore of the DSM system partition.
It becomes available with the "SynoCli Disk Tools" package on DSM:
https://synocommunity.com/package/synocli-diskFor example, the associated command with root in the SSH terminal or as a scheduled task would be:
ddrescue /dev/md0 /volume1/GeneralPurposeShareName/Systempartition.imgA “ddrescue” installed on the Tiny Core Linux (TCL), may be tinycore redpill (TCRP), can then be used to restore the image.

Due to many further questions/problems here in the thread, I would like to expand the topic to all models of the Synology "+" series and all questions about internal flash memory regarding hardware replacement, image repair, elsewhere with a new topic. Synology model upgrades are also possible here:
As already mentioned, the thread owner also has the opportunity to close this topic here. From my side, thank you @wool very much for the information about the pin-out and the ideas that came from it.

Due to many questions/problems in the "DS412+ USB flash module pinout" thread, I would like to expand the topic to include all models in the Synology "+" series, and all questions about the internal flash memory regarding hardware replacement, image repair. Synology Model upgrades are also possible here.

Hi DSfuchs.
I managed to download the DOM.
Can you give me an email address to send you the link to the DOM image file? Thanks!Since the image is OK and starts with my RS812+, I assume that the internal flash memory is no longer able to provide the necessary USB2.0 protocol to start the device due to aging.

The DeepL translator helps me a lot.
This is exactly the confirmation for me:
The most precise and sophisticated machine translator in the world
DeepL is three times more accurate than its direct competition.Deepl is from Germany too, I didn't know him yet. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your help in advance. (Sorry my poor English language!)
For me, it reads excellently in Germany.

Unfortunately, it never occurred to me that such a mistake could be made. If I can, I'll make a backup of the DOM. Tomorrow I'll try to see if it works and what's on it. If I can get it to come back to life, I'll make an img file and send it over. Thanks a lot for your help!
I use this software to save/write a DOM image:

Great! I was thinking the same thing. Do you happen to have a downloadable image file for ds412+ that can be written if the factory flash is completely dead? Can any usb stick be connected? Thanks!
First, it must be determined whether the DOM is working and, if so, whether files are missing or need to be overwritten. There is also an individual device file that enables the unique DSM license purchased with the device to be used. And of course it would be easier and quicker to flash your DOM backup if you had created it beforehand. But it is possible to reconstruct everything.
If you can still create an image of your DOM, I can happily check and if applicable can give you tips on reconstruction.

I can also confirm full USB functionality and advanced speed via TCRP. My systems are not only used for testing purposes. As of a year ago, ARPL didn't work.
It's also super easy and quick to migrate from internal RAID0 using a single Linux mdadm-command. If you have an external single drive, you should ideally place the parity disk of a RAID4 there. If you have a dual(or more)-case, it makes sense to place the mirror drives of the RAID10 (RAID0+1 with 2 near-copies) there.
In general, the slow hard drive performance when writing in RAID 5/6 scenarios, with only 3-5 drives, is out of the question for me anyway. I can also imagine the long recovery times with the associated collapse in performance. We're not talking about a data center-sized installation where the penalty is almost negligible. Always remember that the higher the number of hard drives, the more likely (I love RAID4 there) it is that a hard drive will fail.
