i am currently using two 2tb wd red nas disks in my synology ds215j nas drive. i set the nas drive to mirroring (raid 1). i need to remove the two 2tb disks and put in two 4tb disks. i need to know exactly how i can transfer the data from an old disk to a new disk
i am guessing i can do it in one of these two ways:-
also do i need to switch off mirroring if i want to use the second way? or no need and the raid settings will get configured automatically?
also can someone please tell me what the besting hard disk cloning software is?
also i need to know what are the tests that i can do to make sure that the new 4tb nas disks are ok. i need to do extensive health checks in the beginning
i am guessing i can do it in one of these two ways:-
- i remove one 2tb nas disk from nas drive and i connect it to a computer and i also connect a blank 4tb nas disk to the computer. after that i run a cloning software and i make an exact copy of the 2tb nas disk onto the 4tb nas disk and then i do the same thing with the other 2tb nas disk and 4tb nas disk. when i finish cloning i put the two 4tb nas disks in the nas drive
- i remove one 2tb nas disk from the nas drive and i put in a blank 4tb nas disk. the nas drive will detect new disk and it will copy all the data from the 2tb nas disk to the 4tb nas disk. when the copying finishes i will remove the other 2tb nas disk and put in the other blank 4tb nas disk and the data will get copied from the first 4tb nas disk to the second 4tb nas disk
also do i need to switch off mirroring if i want to use the second way? or no need and the raid settings will get configured automatically?
also can someone please tell me what the besting hard disk cloning software is?
