Transferring data from Drobo5N2 to Synology 1821+ - Enquiries - 06-10-2023
I need to find the an easy way to copy my files from my Drobo 5n2 to my Synology 1821+. I was wondering if it’s possible to connect my Synology to another NAS directly. I’m new to Synology and it’s a bit confusing with all the options? Both my Drobo and Synology are connected by 1gb Ethernet into a 1gb switch (on the same network). I have to move 17tb of data. Would I need to keep my Mac turned on while this process is happening as DSM seems to be web based or could I connect one of the Ethernet cables from the Drobo directly to the Synology? Many thanks and apologies for the newbie question.

Yes, you can map the drive inside the Synology for an easier transfer https://nascompares.com/map-network-drive-in-synology/
