Hi all,

The Synology is a NAS, its a DS1819+ so could take SSDs if got a caddy probably.  I didn’t look at that as a option to get equivalent sized SSDs to give the storage capacity would be very expensive but it is possible to do.

I thought about option 2 but I’ve seen quiet a few reports online saying they are getting “queued for rebuilding error 776” and some people having issues mirroring to larger capacity drive as your meant to mirror to identical sized drives so I’m currently doing option 1 – taking forever.. but at least at the end I can remove the raid for the 2 VM storage drives, remove them, add in 2 new drives, setup mirror from scratch and then move the data back again.  Looong process but these current WD Green drives have lasted 13 years so far and are not advising of any errors etc, I’m just replacing them due to age (2008).  I’m replacing them with WD Gold 2 TB drives which are enterprise class and meant for 24/7 operation, which the Greens were not to my knowledge so I’m hopeful they will last a good number of years too fingers crossed.

The O/S drives would be the next ones to do but they are 2011 (same model) so whilst would be a pain if they died, its easy to re-install as they only have OS and ISOs (which I have copies of on my nas) so would only mean re-installing OS and then re-mounting/adding VMs back in again s not too bad.  Could have it back up in a day for sure.
