Please be patient with the newbie here. This is my third xpenology box that I put together in the last 5 months, so I have some experience with editing the synoinfo.conf file, and minimal experience in Linux. This is my very first post.
DS918+ running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 2 on Jun's 1.04b loader. I love it! :) Everything was working fine after install (including detecting and reading from external HDDs), but it not detect all 10 internal drives were detected. I had this problem before on when using DS3615xs on the same NAS box, and this tutorial worked great! But this time the external HDDs are showing up as internal HDD!
Both synoinfo.conf from /etc and /etc.defaults were edited.
dmesg.txt shows 4 USB ports detected, but when I changed the binary to "1111" it also did not detect any USB port.
dmesg.txt shows 20 ata ports detected, this is why I have expanded the maxdisks to 20.
It sounds cool to be able to use external HD as part of internal volumes, but my data is located in the external HDD, so I cannot bring it back to new volumes. I want to have access to external HDDs to use HyperBackup on a NTFS drive for portability of backups.

Original binary to HEX (with "maxdisks=16"):
11 0000 0000 0000 0000 ==> USB ports = 30000
00 1111 1111 1111 1111 ==> Sata ports = FFFF
Modified binary to HEX (with "maxdisks=20")
11 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ==> USB ports = 300000
00 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 ==> Sata ports = FFFFF
esataportcfg="0x0"

Hardware:
• OptiPlex XE2: Intel Core I7-4770S (4 Cores/8 Threads, 3.10 GHz, Turbo 3.90 GHz), RAM 12Gb 1600 MHz DDR3
Drives #17 and #18 below are two different external HDDs.
Any ideas are highly appreciated! Thanks! :)
