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?

For DIY, just about any setup would work fine as long as you put it in a case with lots of bays. Throw 2 or 3 of these in there* and you now have however many ports are on the motherboard (probably 2 or 4) plus 8-12 more ports available via the cards.

*I'm not recommending that specific card, just something that gives you SATA ports on a PCI-E card. Just pay attention to bandwidth bottlenecks on the cards. Here is a table of PCI-E speeds.

Followup; Not as cheap but there are M.2 to SATA cards available too, if your mb has no empty PCIe but do have empty M.2 available.
