I want to upgrade from a DS220+ (6Gig Ram), (2 Seagate Exos X18 TB drives), set up as SHR, BRTFS. System original format created two 16.4 TB drives, one volume of total 16.4 TB space. This is only used for Video Station (DVD, BlueRay) mpg movie files (5060) server in home use.
I now need more disk space. I want to purchase a DS923+, add 32Gb RAM, two 1TB Flash Drives and 2 new additional Seagate Exos X18 TB drives. Remove the existing 2 Eoxs X 18TB (Video Station movies) and add them to the new DS923+, with a total of 4 Seagate Exos X18 TB) drives. That should create a new total volume of (32.7 TB) SHR 2, according to Synology website calculator.
Can I just install the 2 existing (DS220+) Seagate drives and then add two additional, new (Dell Exos X18 18TB SATA), basically same type of drives?
I DON'T want to loose any of the VS Station file data associated with the movies. Looks like Synology states I would loose the movie file data, (META) and have to recreate it.
