WARNING: Follow these steps at your own risk.

Step 1

Enable SSH on the Synology and log in with your admin account, then type:

sudo -i

and type in your password.

Step 2

Navigate to the folder where the drive list is stored.

cd /var/lib/disk-compatibility

Step 3

edit *_host.db and *_host.db.new and add your drive. In our case we had to add this line to the DB rs2821rp+_host.db and rs2821rp+_host.db.new
