How to migrate / move from one Synology NAS to another by moving drives

I was curious how hard it might be to move from one Synology NAS to another without having to copy data over the network. It is actually pretty simple: just take the drives out of the old one and install them in the new one.

This will work so long as the transfer process is moving from a smaller drive to a larger one. Single drive NAS devices cannot be moved to larger ones unfortunately. Some of the Synology apps like Video Station may have some difficulties moving over.

Here's a guide on Synology's website on migration and what should work and what won't: http://lon.tv/swzsy
