Hey all, I’m planning to upgrade my TerraMaster F4-210 NAS, which currently has 3x 20TB HDDs in RAID 5. It’s been solid for storage, but I’m running into performance issues and want a more powerful NAS (better CPU, software, or features).My biggest worry is keeping all my data safe during the upgrade. Can I transfer my RAID 5 array (drives and all) to a new NAS without losing anything? Are there NAS brands or models that support this kind of migration? I’d really like to avoid rebuilding the array or restoring from backups if possible .Any recommendations for NAS models that can handle 20TB drives in RAID 5, steps for a smooth migration, or pitfalls to avoid? Thanks for any tips!
