hello guys i have a DS220j NAS Enclosure with a single 4TB SSD inside of it. I'm not using even half of it on this NAS and i need local storage more to be honest, so i would like to replace the 4TB SSD inside this NAS with an empty 2TB SSD that i have. I would like to know how to do it, thanks.

Easiest way is to use the Synology HyperBackup tool and a USB drive connected to the NAS. Backup files and apps to the USB. Swap in the new disk. Load HyperBackup from the web, restore the backup from the USB.
