In a my setup I have a 5TB LACIE DAS attached to a Macbook (DAS via USB bridge to MAC) which is used for media serving of audio files. I use the Synology in this case only as backup (MAC via wifi to NAS). From time to time I want to make a fresh backup from the DAS to the NAS (+/- 3TB of files). What the best setup to improve transfer speed and stability (I assume that the USB bridge, MAC, MAC wifi are major blockages here). Can I connect the Lacie DAS directly to the Synology NAS via USB? P.S. Remember the DAS is formatted for the MAC.
