I planning to get a synology ds418 for file storage. Just got one question if the nas device few years later faulty can I move all hdd to another synology nas without losing any data? I got a lot of important data which I can't afford of losing it.

you mean I can swap all my hdd to a new any model of synology ex. from a faulty Ds418 to Ds718 without losing the existing raid array and data intact? Just swap without any further headache configuration?

Yes. Just transfer all the hdd to the new unit. Than repopulate back the data. It is easy step built in function step by step in the Synology.

You can read back what I do when change from 409+ to 1815+.
