## What it is
A Shell script that adds user-installed HDDs, SSDs, and NVMe drives to Synology NAS compatible drive databases, bypassing DSM's drive compatibility restrictions. It also offers optional tweaks like disabling compatibility warnings, adjusting max memory settings, and setting write_mostly flags.

## Use cases
- add unsupported drives to synology compatible database
- remove disk compatibility warnings on synology dsm
- use third-party ram in synology nas without warnings
- disable synology drive database auto update
- set write_mostly to prefer ssd reads on synology
- undo synology hdd db changes with restore option

## When to choose
- you installed non-Synology-branded drives or memory in a Synology NAS and DSM shows compatibility warnings
- you want to use M.2 NVMe drives or expansion units not listed in the official database
- you want a reversible, scriptable way to patch DSM drive databases

## When to avoid
- you use a non-Synology NAS or a different NAS operating system
- you prefer to keep DSM fully stock and within official Synology support
- you are uncomfortable running shell scripts with root access on your NAS
