Swapping NAS Drives/Synology - Enquiries - 10-11-2022

I currently have an old Synology 4bay NAS with two 2tb WD Red drives installed. The 415 has failed i.e. there is no power to the unit. I have bought a second-hand 918+ - can I do a straight swap of hard drives to the 'new'NAS from the old one (presuming the hard drives are ok)?

Take a look at this video - it may do just what you need, or it may highlight an area of concern.

Hope this helps.
