Sam from Sheridan Computers provides a step-by-step guide on upgrading a Synology DS220+ NAS from 1 terabyte Western Digital Red hard drives to 4 terabyte Seagate IronWolf drives. He highlights the critical importance of maintaining backups and using RAID 1 or higher for data redundancy. The upgrade involves replacing each drive sequentially, allowing time for the RAID array to rebuild after each replacement. In addressing a degraded storage setup, the presenter details accessing the storage manager, recognizing the new drive, and initiating repair, effectively restoring the system to a healthy status. The video continues with repairing and expanding the storage, leading to the successful completion of the process with full drive capacity available. The video concludes by reiterating the importance of data backups and soliciting viewers to engage with further content on their website.

In this part of the video, Sam from Sheridan Computers discusses upgrading the Synology DS220+ NAS from 1 terabyte Western Digital Red hard drives to 4 terabyte Seagate IronWolf drives. He emphasizes the importance of having a backup and using RAID 1 or higher to ensure redundancy during the upgrade process. The procedure involves replacing each drive sequentially, allowing the array to rebuild after each replacement. He demonstrates removing the front panel, pulling the first drive, inserting a new one, and beginning the process of the drive spinning up. He also mentions the importance of backing up data as rebuilding RAID arrays can sometimes cause issues.

In this part of the video, the presenter addresses the issue of a degraded storage setup on a Synology NAS device. They initiate the process by accessing the storage manager, noting that the new 3.6 terabyte drive is recognized but not initialized. The degraded status of storage pools and volumes is noted, and the repair option is selected to fix the issue. After choosing a fast repair mode, the process begins, and the drive stops beeping, showing a normal and healthy status. The presenter then pauses the video to allow the repair to finish. Upon completion, the storage pool shows as healthy with the new drive correctly reflected. Following this, the presenter plans to replace and repair the second drive using the same procedure, with an option to expand the capacity of the volume to 3.6 terabytes.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the final steps of repairing and expanding the storage on a two-bay Synology NAS device. The device has completed the initial repair phase and moved on to an expansion phase, which is currently at 42% and has been running for over an hour. The presenter advises that the NAS can be used during this time but full drive capacity won’t be available until the expansion is complete. The process concludes successfully, with the storage pool and volume showing as healthy, and the full drive capacity now available. The presenter emphasizes the importance of backing up data before beginning the upgrade process to avoid potential data loss.
