How To: Migrate To a New Synology NAS using Synology Migration Assistant

Aside from switching out to a more modern Synology NAS, we are also putting in the right drive for the job. WD Red HDDs are built for NAS duties versus the old WD Green HDDs that weren’t meant for 24/7 NAS use and have logged 71,573 power on hours, which is probably close to the end of their life. We will step through the physical process of swapping the drives and adding M.2 NVMe SSDs (Kioxia XG5) for caching in the new NAS. This process will take advantage of Synology Migration Assistant as we move from a 2-bay to 4-bay NAS. We start by moving the old Green HDDs to the new NAS, along with two new Red HDDs. Then we migrate the data off of the Green HDDs to the two new Reds. From there we retire the Green HDDs, adding in the other two new 4TB Red HDDs. Lastly we expand the volume in a RAID5, ultimately adding the last disk to go to a RAID6.
