Slightly lengthy post, please pardon me and thank you in advance for reading.
I had installed DSM6.2.1 with Synology 918+ successfully on VMWare Workstation.
Actual Synology 918+ is able to plug in 02 x M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs (Cache) and 04 x SATA (Storage)
My current setup 02 x 2TB SATA is presented to the VM as Physical Disk.
Physical Setup:
------------------
|--SATA00-OS---| = Slot 1
|--BLANK--------| = Slot 2
|--SATA02-2TB--| = Slot 3
|--SATA03-2TB--| = Slot 4
------------------
However in my XPEnology it is shown as below:
Disk1 - 50MB - SynBoot (Understandable as it is mounted as a SATA presented to the VM)
Disk2 - Empty
Disk3 - Empty
Disk4 - Empty
Disk5 - 2TB
Disk6 - 2TB
Disk7 - Empty
Disk8 - Empty
Synology Storage Manager:
I have two question:
01 - Any other way not to show Disk1 other than using a physical USB Thumbdrive.
02 - I am planning install and plug in 01 x M2 NVME for my OS thus freeing up Slot 1, then add in 02 x 2TB new hdd, so where will my new 02 x 2TB reflect in XPEnology?
03 - Synology 918+ is a 4 Bay NAS, why is it showing 13 Disks?
