Hard disks

Can you help give a second life to the old Raid?

Hello! There is an old Raid Lacie, inside there are 4 disks of 1TB each.

I want to change to disks of 10 TB, but the connection connectors are old there. FireWare800, USB-2.0 and Sata.
I would like to make more modern Usb-C, or Thunderbolt-2. Basically something fast.

Is there a way to change the board, or the controller, or whatever it is, (maybe something on Ali) to make the system work. Or it's not worth it. At least poke where to dig, maybe someone came across or bothered? Thank you!
Thanks to Eugene for the link in the comments. ass photo6087e479c4905880983068.jpeg

I doubt very much that it will be possible to do something similar with the LaCie technique.
Firstly, they position themselves to a certain extent as "Think different" (although I would like to quote only "think"), i.e. focus on design, convenience (as they see it themselves), and similar properties of products. They also invest in marketing, as a result of all this, they put the price higher.
I don't think it will be possible to find something compatible at all, let alone Ali.
And secondly, as far as I know, their products are not officially sold in Russia (or sold, but not all). Accordingly, you are unlikely to be able to advise anything here, because. people simply have nowhere to get the experience of working with Lassier vaults.
We recovered data from Lacie, but mostly we saw either disks or disk images.
The most reasonable advice, in my opinion, would be to open the box, examine the board inside, and start by googling for its part number, SKU, and similar numbers, if any.
An alternative is to ask on foreign sites. There are almost certainly either user forums or a subreddit.
It is unlikely for the reasons above, but suddenly there are even some "~firmware" alternatives.
The most banal start is searching for [LACIE 5big] controller / pcb / board + upgrade / replacement . Try different combinations and substitute your model, otherwise I indicated the one in the picture.

it’s too expensive to masturbate, it’s easier to buy a new one, it costs three kopecks there, but here you’ll spend more and more on access to machines to cut
