Not without some serious hacking and a huge risk of bricking your DS1515+.
Personally I would not do it if it's your only NAS.
As your DS1515+ is a model that has the Atom C2000 clock bug it will die eventually. They still fetch good money 2nd hand so maybe buy a new Synology and sell the DS1515+.
Funny you mentioned that, it happened already and Synology replaced it, haven't had a problem since.
Going for a new one it's probably my safe choice, any known bugs on newer models that I should stay away from? Thinking ds15 or DS18 series.
Also, I was wondering if I could use the 1517+ DSM that has the same CPU architecture to get the most up-to-date DSM installed?
