So currently I am running a 4 bay Synology DS423+. I’ve upgraded it to have 32gb ram and a 10g network port. I am looking to upgrade to something with more bays like 12+. I was looking at the DS2422+ since it is 12 bays and I could transfer my ram from my current synology to it.
Now if I build one myself something I’ve never done is it easy to just move my storage over and not lose any data and be able to access it? I am running 4x 12TB in raid 5 in my current. It’s mainly my backup, plex files and also running qbit and tautulli. I saw some people recommend 45homelab HL15 would that be a good swap?
Not the person you responded to, but personally I just went Truenas scale on baremetal and it worked really well. Currently they also work with docker so setting up additional apps is really easy as well.
