Hi Robert,
It sounds like your music files are very important to you. I'd like to point out that a RAID 6 is a dual parity not a backup. You are still subject to bit rot, theft, fire, catastrophic failure or any number of things that could cause you to lose your data. As your NAS is now 8 years old it might not be a bad idea to upgrade to a new system and use the TS-451 as a proper backup on site or preferably off site. That's just my opinion. Maybe Rob will have another point of view.
