Migrating NAS storage to new HDs with JBOD storage

I have a QNAP NAS here with 4 HDs where one is starting to fail. So I want to migrate to a new one. As this is not RAID5, I want to find out if there are any convenient ways to migrate to new HD(s) without having to backup the complete storage to external disks first.



Here is the current setup:




  • 1 Storage pool, containing 1 Thick Volume.

  • The Storage pool is 100% allocated with the Thick volume.

  • The Thick volume is used ca 75%.


The storage pool contains the following:
enter image description here



I am planning to replace (at least) the 2 5TB disks with 8+ TB HDs



So specific questions:



Is there a way to move data off the NAS so that it would specifically vacate the 2 5TB HDs (RAid group 2) so that I can replace them?



Or is there a way that I could shrink the Pool 1, create another Pool in the free space and make sure that the individual pools are constrained to one of the RAID groups?
