Synology NAS used as External Hard drive

I would like to use a Synology NAS as the hard drive for the 2012 R2 Fileserver so that I would not to have separate hard drives for Hyper-V replication. I can't figure out a way to do that. Is it Possible?

What synology NAS are you using? depending on the device you can connect it via eSATA or in most cases iSCSI over TCP/IP

Actually I have an old server that I install the Synology on (Via USB Bootup). It looks like the exact same software that I have in my DS2316i. I guess a better question would have been "can I use the Synology software as an external hard drive connected via ethernet"
