Hey all,
I am moving my media off of a Synology NAS (with 16TB of media) onto my newly built unRAID server. I've read that the best way to do this is to use SMB to mount the NAS and then use either Rsync or Krusader to move the files. I'm not sure what the best order of operations would be to ensure the move is successful. I've gotten some advice, but I want to get some more opinions. Here's what I'm planning:
1. Create an array on the unRAID server using one 14TB drive and one 8TB drive.
2. Create the data share on the array using the Trash Guide file structure. (will this cause issues when I add my cache drives?)
3. Move the media from the NAS to the respective locations on the unRAID server.
4. Once the data is moved, add an 18TB drive for parity and 2x1TB NVMe drives for cache (one for appdata/ VMs and the other for my downloads/atomic moves).
5. Finally, add the three 14TB drives from the NAS to the unRAID server.
Does this sound like a good approach? Am I missing anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
