I have an older Synology DS415+ and 916+ running DSM 7 that I use to store data for a very small side business as well as personal files. Both deices run 24/7 but under minimal load. I access the NAS remotely, use some of the chat features, and backup my data and run a print server. I have both configured with Raid 5 and the 916 is the primary while the 415 acts as a backup. To date this configuration has worked just fine. Recently one of the WD red hard drives failed and I am now considering upgrading both systems to WD Red SSD. I'm wondering if this is a wise decision, should I keep the same configuration or consider other options?
