+### Deleting and recreating your storage pool on unverified HDDs
+
+You obviously can't download Synology HDD db to a volume because you've just deleted your storage pool. So you'd first need to download Synology HDD db to a system folder and run it from there.
+
+1. Create and cd to /opt
+    ```
+    sudo mkdir /opt && sudo chmod 775 /opt
+    ```
+
+2. Create /opt
+    ```
+    sudo mkdir -m775 /opt
+    ```
+
+2. cd to /opt
+    ```
+    cd /opt || (echo "Failed to CD to /opt"; exit 1)
+    ```
+
+3. Download syno_hdd_db.sh to /opt
+    ```
+    sudo curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/refs/heads/main/syno_hdd_db.sh"
+    ```
+
+4. Download syno_hdd_vendor_ids.txt to /opt
+    ```
+    sudo curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/refs/heads/main/syno_hdd_vendor_ids.txt"
+    ```
+
+5. Then set permissions on /opt/syno_hdd_db.sh
+    ```
+    sudo chmod 750 /opt/syno_hdd_db.sh
+    ```
+
+6. Finally run
+    ```sudo -s /opt/syno_hdd_db.sh```
+
+7. You can now create your storage pool from Storage Manager
