Migrating to new NAS - Enquiries - 12-18-2023
Moving from DS220+ to DS1522+. Situation: DS220 has 2 x 12TB drives mirrored. I have one 12TB drive for the 1522+. Want to end up with all three 12TB drives in the DS1522+
If I want to migrate from DS220+ to DS1522+ what would be the easiest way to do that?
My thought would be to setup on the DS1522+ with the single 12TB drive. Use Synology migration assistant to move my files from DS220+ to the DS1522+ and then add the two drives from the DS220+ to the DS1522+ and expand the storage pool to create a Synology Hybrid RAID environment. Is that possible?

Absolutely, making the move from DS220+ to DS1522+ with your data intact is a smooth process. Start by setting up the DS1522+ with the single 12TB drive and use the Synology migration assistant—it's a handy tool. You can either move the drives directly over or leverage the assistant app for a hassle-free transfer of your files from DS220+. Once your data is comfortably settled in the DS1522+, add the two drives from DS220+ and expand the storage pool. It's indeed possible, and you can even create a Synology Hybrid RAID environment to optimize your storage setup
