Well, I used UUID but that should persist too considering none of the partitions will be wiped.
I have some server grade 14TB disks arriving that are supposed to be good for a couple million continuous hours, and these will replace all the WD elements disk, but they arrive in about 2 months, maybe a little more. I figured I could buy the DAS early and shuck all my external disks in it, but I'm concerned about the issue with the 3.3V pin in some that stops them from working, and I don't want to put tape on them and have it make a mess over time. I was going to later retire them as internal disks for other computers, but eh, suppose I could keep them in their external form after all.
In the end, it's probably best to just suck it up and wait, plug the DAS with the new disks, and copy the data over. I will have to rebuild fstab then, but that's expected and worth it.
