Ok thanks.
Think I'm getting it.
I was hoping to have one USB 4TB for backup only, and one internal SATA 4TB for all the data.
Yeah I'm really aiming for fanless in a silent acoustic environment.. we'll see how this goes.

Thanks for that - sounds reassuring.
I also realised that the whole OS stays on the USB drive (I think?) so I'll only need one SATA drive in the machine. -
Hmmm now reading through some other posts on this forum, it seems Xpenology will only install on particular / specific hardware....is this true, or is it just a bit unknown?
Sorry for the confusion from a complete noob.
I'll keep reading until things hopefully become clear.

Having been disappointed with a couple of Diskstation models, in an extremely quiet environment, I'm aiming to make a *totally* silent Diskstation.
It's not for heavy duty use, but would be running Plex, NAS, and some other basic stuff for remote access.
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB internal M.2 2280 for the OS
- 4TB internal SATA SSD for data
- 4TB SSD usb for backup
Could this work?
Thanks

Thanks for your thoughts.
I was confused at first because I thought the OS requires a separate install drive - turns out that's not the case.
No storage is included so I'll simply buy a 4TB SATA SSD for data.
The M.2 drive won't be required - it seems those drives are more expensive anyway so I'll stick with the SATA option.
I will use a USB 4TB drive for backup only.
I guess my biggest concern was that main hardware itself will work with Xpenology.
