I did it the same way on my ds220+ and it worked without any problems.

This is a place for all topics regarding Synology hard- and software - especially (but not limited to) their NAS devices.
Just one thing: Let’s please be pleasant to each other and respect that people have different experience levels. Some are pros, some are noobs, yet everybody may have good ideas or interesting questions to ask and comments to make, and all of these shall be heard and appreciated. ❤️
And since we know from TV that all IT nerds 🤓 are h4xx0rs and wear hoodies all the time (if not even ski masks) in front of their computers, I chose an appropriate banner image (image credit).

That's great to hear, thank you! Now I'm wondering if I should do 2 SSD and 2 HDD or 1 SSD and 3 HDD like I originally thought.
Maybe I've misunderstood the initial question. I've put in a ssd, set up DSM, put all files on it and installed a second ssd for raid1 later.
Oh I understand. I'm trying to do something different. I want to install just one SSD, do the initial set up so DSM (and any future apps) would live on it. Then in the other 3 bays I'd add the HDDs as a second volume. A potential downside to doing this would be that if the SSD fails, the NAS would fail entirely. But I don't know enough about DSM to know if that's the case.
So you now have 2 separate drives that are not mirrored?
