I have a question about the NAS. Do I always need a hard drive installed, or can I connect a 6tb hard drive via usb and use it as the main device. And can I access this hard drive from anywhere?

You always need an internal hard drive installed in the NAS, as it only has a hard drive slot for a 3.5" SATA HDD or 2.5" SATA SSD. A 6 TB hard drive connected via USB cannot be used as main storage in the NAS.

Although the NAS has two USB 3.2 ports, these are intended for external devices such as backup drives, not for use as main storage.

You can access the internal hard drive from anywhere if the NAS is in the network and has been configured accordingly (e.g. with remote access via Synology services). However, it is not possible to access drives connected via USB as main storage.
