On my DS2411+ I had 2TB drives in use and started seeing more and more failures, more often from newer drives than the old ones. So I bought myself some 4TB Red Plus drives to replace them. I went from 10x2TB to 3x4TB given most of my data is on my other NAS now.
I had migrated (or at least thought I had) most data to the new NAS & external drives before shutting the NAS down as it had a degraded volume, and a few days later I yanked them without one final check. The bad news is, I didn't get everything off the old NAS before I pulled the drives. I lost my docker export files and some other things, but more crucially some important files I thought I transferred but apparently didn't.
Is it now possible to shutdown the NAS & pull the Reds, put the 2TB's back in and see if the old volume still boots up? The main problem is I don't remember which bay those drives went in. I can label and put the Reds back in no problem, but I'm worried of the consequences. Is something like this possible, to boot the 2TB volume back up and grab files and then revert back to the Reds?
Thanks.
