RE: Lifespan of Synology NAS

Using the current disks might work if the new NAS is also a DS414 (or possibly a different model with the same processor type) that was running exactly the same version of DSM before its disks were removed. Synology describe how this may be done here: https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledge..._and_later I agree with Simon that this risky. The way forward with my NAS will be driven by storage capacity and processing power (given that I have same-size replacement hard drives to cope with drive failure) as my music library and family video & photo archives continue to grow. If (when) I get a new NAS I'll buy one with a more powerful cpu (e.g, to allow HD video streaming) and new, larger-capacity hard drives. I have considered getting 8TB drives to replace each of my current 4TB drives as they fail, but this would not address the cpu issue.
