You should be able to just put the drives in the new model and they will rebuild with the new OS..

As for a cheap NAS, I run Xpenology on a old Surveillance Computer I installed Proxmox,then set up a Xpenology VM with ARC Auxxilian boot loader, I run the latest Synology 7.2.1 OS on it, and it runs quicker then my real DS-920+ You can run Xpenology on even an old PC, I had it running on a i3, 3.4ghz with 32gigs of RAM, and about 10 TB's in assorted HD's. This is all if you want to stay with Synology, otherwise, TrueNAS is the next best thing, I am waiting for my son to give me an extra Terramaster 6 bay NAS he has and I am going to install TrueNAS on it to handle my BBS VLAN which is set up as a DMZ on my home network. I will more then likely remove the Xpenology NAS at that time..

I know I rambled a bit but I hope you can get something worthwhile out of my response..
