Hi.
Sincere apologies if this question is so obvious as to be an eye roll, but I've been all over this forum and elsewhere and can't seem to answer it.
Background. My DS412+ bricked on a routine restart. I don't have a backup. Was running latest DSM6. Fans and blinking blue lights.
I have tried to rescue the unit. See this thread. No luck. Trying to move forward. My question:
Could I just move my three drives (3TB WD Red) in a Raid 5 config to an identical Synology or a more modern unit? Is this dangerous? I don't want to corrupt the data or mess with the headers.
I did try attaching the drives to an Ubuntu install and using mdadm (in the above thread) but the VS headers were outdated and I stopped.
I seem to have access to a used DS412+. Worth a try? Go more modern? Just trying to avoid expensive mistakes, and most importantly preserve the data.
Finally - I see eBay ads for Synology repair. Any recommendations?
Thanks so much for any and all input, and again sorry if this has been answered elsewhere in the forum.
Best,
Chris
