I'm planning to use QNAP TS-870 Pro (inherited). I believe it only supports RAID5/6. Currently, it has 3 x 4TB drives.

Is it possible for me to stick in new drives or remove/replace old drives without much effort? Planned future scenarios:

Put in new 12TB or greater drives, does it automatically rebuild the raid and balance everything out?
Remove old 4TB drives after adding new 12TB drives. Again does it automatically rebuild?

Since the unit is relatively old, if the PSU dies, what are my options? can I recover the data somehow? (e.g., stick it in a non-qnap linux pc and recover?)
