migrate immich from raid1 to raid5 drive

Hi there,
I'm planning to migrate from a qnap tr-004 hardware raid1 to qnap tr-004 hardware raid5 setup. My question is, can I just compress the folders, and incompress them on the new drive?
My immich installation database is on a seperate nvme drive. Im planning to make backup, reformat my raid drive and and make any uid changes in fstab and finally decompress the files on the original location.
thank you in advance.
