first of all I apologize if my English may be very basic, I am still learning :).
I recently modified the synoinfo.conf file of my DS218+ to make sure that hard drives connected via ESATA or USB would be recognized as internal ( here on the forum is full of this kind of setups )
The problem is that if I connect a disk via ESATA, I have the ability to initialize it and create a storage pool. If I connect it via USB, I cannot because of this error:
I also noticed that the SMART information or disk serial is not loaded when connected via usb
Did I miss anything? Can you help me if you have perhaps experienced the same problem?

hello everyone
first of all I apologize if my English may be very basic, I am still learning :).
I recently modified the synoinfo.conf file of my DS218+ to make sure that hard drives connected via ESATA or USB would be recognized as internal ( here on the forum is full of this kind of setups )
"maxdisks": "22",
"esataportcfg": "0",
"usbportcfg": "0",
"internalportcfg": "0xffffffff",
The problem is that if I connect a disk via ESATA, I have the ability to initialize it and create a storage pool. If I connect it via USB, I cannot because of this error:
I also noticed that the SMART information or disk serial is not loaded when connected via usb
Did I miss anything? Can you help me if you have perhaps experienced the same problem?
Grazie!
