#General information
The 412+ and 1513+ have the same architecture, that is why it works so well. The only difference is that you will see 5 HDD/SSD instead of 4. This is absolutely not a problem at all

In case your NAS is bricked, this can be solved as well; in case you want to go back to your DSM-6.2.4 it can be done as well, let me know and I will upload a tutorial.

I have come across your post reference getting DSM 7.1.1 onto my old DS412+ using the .pat file from a DS1513+ in order to get the latest firmware. I have followed your instructions but unfortunately at about 59% whilst installing the DSM, the install gives an error stating 'Unable to complete install, the file may be corrupted'. Were there any additional steps you took to mitigate this? I have been able to install the .pat from DS713+ (only 2 disks available) and the .pat from RS814+ (unable to update past 7.0.1 Update 4, due to an additional patch is required).

 

I would be very grateful for any help you can offer. Also could you kindly send you pdf as it is unavailable using the above link.

 

Thank you kindly
