Move from storage space to NAS?

Psittac

Just looking for tips to reliably switch over from a machine running storage spaces to a synology NAS

 

Currently I have 2x2tb and 2x3tb hdd's in a storage space with 1tb unallocated on each 3tb hdd.  I will be buying 2 more identical 3tb hdd's and putting a total of 4 in a 4 bay synology NAS.  I'll have to hook up the machine in question to see how much of that space is used, but I'd say it is under 1tb currently.  Can I get advice to safely switch out to the NAS?

uhm, you cant set up the nas and keep the files on those hard drives, so you need a place to store those while setting up the nas. options are: a friends nas or pc, renting a cloud service once, external harddrive's, usb sticks, or basicly anything else. there is no way to get around that

I'm guessing the hard drives have been in use for a while so it might not be a terrible idea to start with new ones anyway. If thats not in the budget you're definitely going to have to transfer the data off to some sort of external media. The NAS will be running its own flavor of RAID which, when initialized, will wipe the drives as mentioned in the previous post.

I thought about this for a bit and I think the solution could be to take one of the new 3tb drives and copy everything to a single drive then break the array and copy it back to the 2 2tb drives, build the 4x3tb array and move everything back to that.  Extremely specific to my situation and I should have figured it out but thank you for the advice.
