Replacing a dead DS214Play - Enquiries - 11-29-2023
I have a dead and discontinued DS214Play. What can I replace it with so that my disks still work and data is accessible? I've seen loads of videos about replacing failing drives in Synology, but what happens when the hardware fails, and Synology doesn't support it anymore?
If I get this one, the DS224+ can I put the drives from the DS214Play, and all is good?
I would appreciate your guidance.

No, you will need to get a USB docker, then you can move one drive to a new system and copy data from another drive via USB. Or have a backup
