Konfl1kt Posted July 18, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2022 Hello, please, help me to find the best way to upgrade my NAS from 6.1 (jun) to 7.1 with RAID1 to RAID6 Upgrade. This is how I see that based on the info I found here 1. Install all 6 HDDs. 2. Remove USB and plug in an another one with 7.1 loader (Created based on this guide). 3. Remove one HDD and convert RAID1 to RAID5 with 5 drives. 4. Install the 6th drive and convert RAID5 to RAID6. Does it looks correct for you, guys? Please, advise. Thanks!

Konfl1kt Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted July 22, 2022 I did it another way. 1. Backup all the data to other 2, 2 and 3 TB disks via USB HDD Docking Station. 2. Install DSM 7.1 2. Re-create RAID6 from scratch. (Because of migration RAID1 to 5 would take almost 5 days, and RAID5 to RAID6 would possibly take weeks) 3. Copy data from HDDs to NAS.
