Currently got two 500GB HDD’s in my Synology NAS not set in RAID configuration, but I am going to replace with two 1TB drives set up in RAID. Looking at instructions on how to do this they seem quite convoluted as they assume that you want to retain the data on the drives, so do it in a methodical way so you preserve the data, however I’ve been using it as a back up drive so not bothered about backing up. Therefore in that case am I OK just to replace both HDDs at the same time and start from a ‘fresh install’?
I currently use it as a back up device, but now want to use it as a main NAS for holding my media files and photo’s to facilitate access by multiple devices, and i’ll back up via other means.
Cheers
