How do I migrate HBS to an SSD volume or storage pool for higher IOPS when using QuDedup?

1. Log in to QTS or QuTS hero.
2. Find out which volume or storage pool the HBS application is installed in.
   1. Open App Center.
   2. Click and enter "HBS 3 Hybrid Backup Sync".
      The HBS application appears in the search results.
   3. Click the application icon.
      The application information window opens.
   4. Next to Installed, note the name of the volume (QTS) or storage pool (QuTS hero) in which the application is installed.
      
   5. Close the application information window.
3. Determine if the disks in the volume or storage pool are HDDs.
   1. Open Storage & Snapshots.
   2. Go to Storage > Storage/Snapshots.
   3. Locate the volume (QTS) or storage pool (QuTS hero) on the list.
      (QTS example)
   4. Click the volume's parent storage pool (QTS) or the storage pool (QuTS hero).
   5. Click Manage.
      
      The storage pool management window opens.
   6. Under RAID Group of [storage pool name], check that the disks are HDDs.
      
      If the disks are SDDs, you can stop here. HBS is already installed on an SSD volume or storage pool.
      If the disks are HDDs, continue to step B. If you already have an SSD volume (QTS) or SSD storage pool (QuTS hero), you can skip steps B-D and go to step E.

For the list of compatible SSDs for your NAS model, see https://www.qnap.com/compatibility.

1. Install an SSD in an empty drive bay.
