Looking to upgrade my NAS need advice. (lemmy.world)

So currently I am running a 4 bay Synology DS423+. I’ve upgraded it to have 32gb ram and a 10g network port. I am looking to upgrade to something with more bays like 12+. I was looking at the DS2422+ since it is 12 bays and I could transfer my ram from my current synology to it.

Now if I build one myself something I’ve never done is it easy to just move my storage over and not lose any data and be able to access it? I am running 4x 12TB in raid 5 in my current. It’s mainly my backup, plex files and also running qbit and tautulli. I saw some people recommend 45homelab HL15 would that be a good swap?

Might also look at larger drives. When I compared 3.5'' drives then the 24TB is cheaper per terabyte than both 16TB and 12TB. The ones I compared are listed below:
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST24000NM002H 24TB 3.5" Serial Attached SCSI 2
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST16000NM001H 16TB 3.5" Serial ATA-600 7200rpm
Seagate IronWolf Harddisk ST12000VN0008 12TB 3.5" SATA-600 7200rpm

Ah I’ll have to see then. HD isn’t that much of an issue to get. Really the hardware and software to run a new NAS will be the most difficult thing for me. Since it isn’t my expertise and I’m still learning.
