Can I migrate disks (4 x 3G X-RAID2 configured) from NV+ V2 to 104 or 214
- I have an 4 year old ReadyNAS NV+ V2, with 4 3TB drives in XRaid2 config
- model version:ReadyNAS NV+ v2
- firmware: RAIDiator 5.3.11
- OS
Model: ReadyNAS NV+ v2 Serial: 2V021CE60014D Firmware: RAIDiator 5.3.11 Memory: 256 MB RAID Type: X-RAID2
- Disks are all in working condition; array is intact
- The unit shutdown intermittently
- I am considering purchase a new unit like 104 or 214
- Can I simply take disks out, put them in new unit, and power on?
- Any other options?
Thanks

No. There is a knowledge base article on that here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29876
If you can afford new disks, then NAS->NAS backup jobs are a good way to migrate data. Then you could try a factory reset on the V2, and see if its stability improves. If it does, you can use it as a backup for the OS6 NAS.
