Long story short, had to file an insurance claim for the apartment I live in. Included in that is xpenology box that I built about 2 years ago. I don't think that I ever upgraded the DSM in it and the only thing that it's doing is hosting some shared folders and plex w/ a very large collection. It has 5 x 8TB drives in it. For whatever reason, it's no longer working (lightning, gremlins, ghosts, take your pick).
Anyway, because of the insurance claim, I'm thinking of moving to a synology box. I'm almost 100% sure the HDDs are not damaged, and assuming that they aren't, is it possible to put them in and continue on w/o problems, in a synology box? I think mine is based off the DS3615xs (which i think is end of life??). I was looking at either the replacement of the 3615, the DS3617xs OR the DS1817+.
Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions? I'm not opposed with either.
