Hi there,

To achieve your goal of changing the System Storage Pool and reallocating your M.2 SSDs, you will need to follow these steps:
Move Data from the System Pool: First, you'll need to move any data stored on the current System Storage Pool (Pool 1) to another pool (either Storage Pool 2 or Storage Pool 3) to ensure no data is lost when you reconfigure the system pool.
Remove Current M.2 SSDs: Once all data is safely moved, remove the 4 x 4TB M.2 SSDs from the System Storage Pool.
Install New SSDs for System Pool: Insert the 2 smaller M.2 SSDs that you want to use for the new system pool.
Set Up NAS from Scratch: With the new SSDs installed, set up your NAS from scratch. Install QuTS Hero on the new SSDs and configure them as the new system pool.
Reintroduce Other Drives: After setting up the new system pool, reinsert the 4 x 4TB M.2 SSDs and the drives from Storage Pools 2 and 3. Your NAS should recognize these drives, and the data on Storage Pools 2 and 3 should remain intact and accessible.
Verify Data Integrity: Make sure that all the storage pools are recognized and that all your data is accessible after reconfiguring the system.
P.S. Always make sure to back up your important data before making any significant changes to your NAS setup. This is a crucial step to prevent data loss during the reconfiguration process.
