I'm currently running a DS716+ii but with a slightly unconventional HDD setup. I've got an 8TB drive that has all my data (photos, music, video and cloudstation) and a 3TB drive, which was the original HDD from my first DS213J, which currently has everything else - homes, netbackup, plex etc. When I upgraded from the 213j to the 716+, I figured it would be easier to separate the data from the system files but I think I've made it more complicated now I want to upgrade again.
My 8TB drive running low on space and is also showing some bad sectors, which have been going up in number for a few weeks (currently at 12). I was going to replace the drive with a 10TB drive but now have a plan to upgrade the NAS as well to a DS1019+. I'm not sure what the best way to migrate everything across is though.
My current thinking is to move everything from the 3TB drive over to the 8TB, and then setup the new NAS with the 10TB using Synology's Migration Assistant. So the 8TB won't ever touch the DS1019+. Does that seem like a sound method?
By Christmas, I plan on adding 3 more 10TB drives, one for more space and 2 for RAID (another thing I need to look into properly).
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
