My 6.2 Synology drive (4 bays) was also more dying in spring time, but one of my disks inside it too. I lost half of my RAID and as a part of recovery I purchased new 7.x based Synology with 6 bays. I purchased two larger disks (14TB Iron Wolf each) and set another RAID. Moved all data to new NAS and reinstalled everything with full reformat, check of the disks... 

The old still serves me, but I don't trust it so I put there only temporary data I don't want to keep on my computers. I purchased more HDD to new Synology and now I'm happy with 28TB of fully RAID 10 storage and newest platform. Old Synology was with me for about 10 years already.. that's good ROI. I hope new one will serve me well for similar timeframe too.
