I have a 2 Bay NAS (Synology DS223J) and 2 enterprise HDDs, 16 TB each. I am planning on moving out of the house i am in currently and i am going to travel to the new place by airplane.

Would the TSA x ray scanners effect my NAS or the HDDs?

Can Xrays corrupt sectors of HDDs or even stop them from working?

I plan to back up most my 700 GB of content to solid state memory, which is a lot more durable than an HDD.

. I would like to know what to expect taking some very expensive and sensitive equipment through TSA. I have TSA pre check, and would be able to keep my NAS in my bag. Even still, i would like to take my NAS or the HDDs and have them inspected without using Xrays.
