Synology SHR switch

Easily switch between SHR and RAID Groups, or enable RAID-F1

Allows you to enable RAID-F1 on Synology consumer NAS models that don't have RAID-F1 as an option.
- Like a DS1821+ with 3 NVMe drives in RAID-F1.
Allows you to switch between SHR and RAID Groups.
The script backs up the original settings so it can restore them later if needed.

Note: RAID Groups only support RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID F1
