mohitn29 Posted May 31, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2021 Hi guys, I am a complete noob at this. I am trying to build a nas to have access to Synology Photos to replace the google photos app. Would someone be able to guide me please ? I heard it is only with DSM 7 and I am not sure if there is a DSM 7 with xpenology. Thanks in advance Cheers, Momo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohitn29 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted June 1, 2021 Thanks KameleON, I tried installing yesterday with Loader version: Jun's Loader v1.04b DSM: DSM 6.2.3-25426 Additional module extra.lzma, extra.2lzma: NO Bare Metal CPU: Intel i7 RAM: 8GB DDR3 Hard disk: 1 x 1 TB (will try later with 2 disk) I could find the ds on find.synology.com but while installing it would stop at 56% and come with error 13. file corrupted. I have tried different USBs with new vid and stuff and also older .pat file for 6.2.2 as well same results. any idea how to fix this ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amikot Posted June 11, 2021 Share #5 Posted June 11, 2021 Before everything else you should test your HDD - if there are bad sectors it may explain installation issues. I made that mistake and was trying to fix USB stick, configuration, BIOS version, but real reason of installation failure was HDD with bad sectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandro_66 Posted July 21, 2022 Share #7 Posted July 21, 2022 Hello boys! Can I specify a USB HDD connected to a NAS as storage in Synology Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessu Posted July 27, 2022 Share #8 Posted July 27, 2022 You have to tweak things to make it visible internally. It is not recommended but it is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
