Bought a QNAP HS-453DX-8G on your recommendation three years ago, and love it. Problem is, the power pole right outside our facility was hit by lightning, and the “surge” came in through the ground connection, which fried everything connected via copper (100bTX or 1000bT) including the QNAP. That’s one of the challenges of living in the “lightning capital of the world” (Florida). Nonetheless, I’ve replaced the MBs on several PCs and the HDDs were completely unaffected — the PCs booted right up, afterwards.
Now my question: I’m going to buy another QNAP HS-453DX-8G, and I wonder, should I just transfer the SSDs into the brand new unit, then turn it on? Or should I perform any intermediate step(s)? I can virtually guarantee that the old unit was not writing, or even being accessed, when the lightning hit. Thanks, keep up the GREAT work!
