Hello, I already have a QNAP NAS (TVS-EC1080+) that i have had for years now. It hosts my data and also plex plus plex content. It currently has 9x16TB ironwolf pro hard disks in a RAID6 configuration.
Obviously, it's now getting quite old in terms of Transcoding, and I am planning to upgrade to the TVS-h1688X.
Now I am aware of the advantages of the QUTS Hero OS however with my current 16TB disks, I would rather not have to purchase new expensive drives in order to migrate so i am thinking to install the standard QTS on the new NAS and ensure the old NAS is running the same release and insert the old/current disks into the new NAS with the same disk sequence. Have you seen or heard this done successfully? I have googled to no avail.
