Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why would you buy something new if your current solution works and your requirements don't change? Just keep it.
I'm concerned about those drives. While they're not under a lot of load, every drive will fail eventually.
Have you checked the SMART values of your drives? Do they give you a reason for your concerns?
Anyhow, you should never be in a position where you need to worry about drive failure. If the data is important, back it up separatly. If it isn't, well, don't sweat it then.
How do I do that?
Go into your storage manager in DSM and check the drive health.
You could always replace failing drives on the same NAS, but replacing the NAS just to replace it seems like a waste of money, unless your needs have changed.
Provided that you have a backup solution (a NAS isn't a backup solution on its own), then you should be covered even if the drive(s) fail.
FWIW, I only use Seagate Ironwolf drives in my NAS.
Everything looks fine in DSM.
