Dead NAS, dead NAS...

My Synology NAS finally died. It was a DS1010+, probably ran for years in someone else server room. I bought it used 3 years ago, hacked it to let the OS think it was a DS1511+.

I ran DSM 6.2 for the better part of two years, then after a power outage the chassis didn't come back.

One nice thing about Synology is their migration process. I bought a new chassis, installed the old drives into the new chassis, ran the system installer, and it recognized the old drives. After an OS upgrade and about 10 minutes, the drives, the pools, and most of the settings carried over.

Not too shabby.
