Comment on With the recent happenings with Synology/Plex, I’ve decided it’s time to make the move and up my self-hosting game, just need some input from the veterans to solidify my plan and put it into action.

For what it’s worth, Synology Hybrid RAID is just a fancy GUI over linux mdraid, so the drives can be mounted on any Linux system (Synology even have instructions for how to do this on their website). You’ll be SOL mounting them with any kind of third-party NAS GUI that expects their own configuration though.

Ah, that is good to know and might give me some flexibility with the migration to a new box. I wonder if I’d be able to Proxmox > Ubuntu/Debian VM (I believe I would need a passthrough card based on others comments for this) and then do the data transfer all on the new machine. Old SRH array > Large JBOD disk > Reformat old SRH drives with new drives for vdev/ZFS pool > Copy media back over to new pool > use large JBOD disk in old Synology as a mirror for backups… Hmmm, that is definitely a workflow I am going to explore. Thanks for the info!
