Let's assume that for simple home use: storing personal photos, videos and some other useful files with the ability to access them from the outside world. If yes, then you can go the easiest way: 1) download and burn the Arc loader to USB flash (by the way, this is not a "system", but just a "bootloader", even 4Gb will be enough; if you want to, then you can replace it with another option without losing data on the disk) 2) connect the monitor and keyboard, wired LAN, boot from USB, select the DS-920+ model and version 7.2, and simply confirm all other items in the Arc bootloader by default 3) after restarting in the DSM-mode wait a few minutes and connect to DSM from another computer on the same LAN at [your_NAS_ip]:5000 (for example 192.168.0.101:5000) 4) Profit! (The monitor and keyboard can be disconnected) but keep in mind that if you use only one disk, it will not provide protection from failures - you will have to make backups regularly if you do not want to lose data!

Try this: 1) connect the monitor and keyboard, reboot DSM 2) select Config Mode in bootloader menu 3) Addons - mark the item "nvmestorage", OK, Build Loader, Boot Loader...

You will need at least one sata disk. You need to complete the installation starting from dsm with the help of this sata disk." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
