Synology HDD db
Description
Add your HDD, SSD and NVMe drives to your Synology's compatible drive database.
The script works in DSM 7 and DSM 6.
What the script does:
- Gets the Synology NAS model and DSM version (so it knows which db files to edit).
- Gets a list of the HDDs, SSDs and NVMe drives installed in your Synology NAS.
- Gets each drive's model number and firmware version.
- Checks if each drive is already in the Synology's compatible-drive database.
- Adds any missing drives to the Synology's compatible-drive database.
Planned updates:
- Detect any connected expansion units and get the model(s) and edit the correct expansion unit db files.
- Or add support for users to specify their expansion unit model(s) as arguments.
- Or maybe use the shotgun approach and update all expansion unit db files.
- Add support for SAS drives? Are SAS drives listed as /dev/sata# or /dev/sas# ?
Running the script
You can either run the script in a shell, or add a "User defined script" task to Synology's Task Scheduler to run as root.
sudo /path-to-script/syno_hdd_db.sh
Note: Replace /path-to-script/ with the actual path to the script on your Synology.
If you run the script with the -showedits flag it will show you the changes it made to the Synology's compatible-drive database. Obviously this is only useful if you run the script in a shell.
sudo /path-to-script/syno_hdd_db.sh -showedits
Note: Replace /path-to-script/ with the actual path to the script on your Synology.
Credits
The idea for this script came from a comment made by Empyrealist on the Synology subreddit.
