Hello, I am planning to replace my HDD with SSD. I have Synology DS718+ with 6TB ironwolf in it, wich I got from my brother on limited time, before I buy mine. I want to buy SSD to run some VMs, Is it somehow possible to replace it without loosing data on HDD?

Thanks for responds

PS: Sorry for my bad English :)

If its a single drive then technically you could just image the entire drive onto another drive and lose nothing but good luck finding a 6TB SSD. If its a RAID then AFAIK no, you cannot replace the drives without losing data unless it has redundancy.

Main Rig:-

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |

 

Server:-

Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0)
