Playing old hexmap game Star Fleet Battles

I own the captains edition with a large amount of extensions and after years of it sitting on the shelve I want to play it again.

It's basically a star fleet ship simulator with pen and paper and has quite an extensive rulebook in english.

If you know the name because of the PC games: that game was the inspiration for the PC games!

If you know it or are interested in it or have questions just ask.

I habe a 2 bay Synology here with a mirror raid and it needs an upgrade in size. Pondering a bit on how to:

1: remove drive 1, let it rebuild, remove drive 2, let it rebuild (Is DSM lost here?), new capacity available. Cheapest solution.

2: get two USB cases, remove drive 1 and 2, put them back in USB cases externally, put in two new ones into the NAS, plug in the USB drives and hope it finds the raid configuration again, copy to internal. Cheap solution.

3: buy a secondary 1-bay nas, copy over, upgrade old one, copy back, have an extra backup target. Expensive.

Questions:

Do I risk loosing the DSM installation if partial swapping internals?

Can an internal raid that is put into usb cases be recovered?

Thanks for any advice here.

An old Samsung phone with a bloated battery pack that had zero voltage and already disassembled the phone by expandingmassively. Display loose dangling a cable, back broken away etc.

Didn't boot up without battery power present, only usb didnt help.

So removed the controller board from the old battery pouch, soldered on an old pouch that was scavenged from a broken Bluetooth speaker and voila. Booted up and unsaved files where copied.
