Hi, I have a dead DS918+. It doesn’t have any blinking blue lights, and it’s just dead when I press the power button – have bought a new power adaptor and I’m currently waiting for it to be delivered.
In the event my 918+ is not reparable, I’ve started researching the updated versions of the 4-bay NAS (i.e. 920+ and 923+) to replace my 918+ in hopes of just doing a HDD migration to get everything up and running again.
My current HDD configuration is:
Bay 1: 16TB Ultrastar WUH721816ALE6L4
Bay 2: 4TB IronWolf ST4000VN008 (SC60)
Bay 3: 16TB Ultrastar WUH721816ALE6L4
Bay 4: 12TB ST12000NE008 (EN02)
I’ve checked the HDD compatibility lists for 920+ and 923+, and 923+ doesn’t seem to support my Ultrastars?
Is it possible to migrate my HDDs from 918+ to 923+ even though the HDDs I have HDDs that are not on the compatibility list for the 923+?
Given my use case (Synology drive for files, WebDAV, LAN streaming) would it be better to opt for an older 920+ or 923+?
