Hiya! 1) Mid-Sept is long gone. Is the message above these boxes still current?
2) I run a TS-889 Pro with 6x WGST 4Tb HDDs, set up in RAID-6 to yield 16Tb of storage.
3) I'm looking to get a TS-664-8G NAS populated with 6x WD Red 8Tb HDDs, configured in RAID-6 to yield 32Tb of usable storage (my budget forbids anything larger).
So to my question:
Once I've purchased the TS-664, populated it, configured to RAID-6, and connected to my 16-port passive Gbit switch (along with the older 669):
** What is the best way to copy ALL of the data on the old 8Tb NAS to the new 32Tb one? **
By best, I mean: most efficient, error-free, and most importantly, avoids overstressing either unit - especially the older NAS, whose age (and slowly increasing fan noise) has prompted this upgrade.
Bonus question: have you guys ever done a video on REPLACING FANS in an aging QNAP NAS? Would love to see one! Assuming the sound isn't the actual HDDs or the power supply unit's fan!
Thx Agarthan
