Can I move my hard drive from a RN102 to a RN312 and keep all the contents?
I'm not sure if the title is quite clear on what I mean, but I didn't want to get too wordy. I've got a RN102 with a 4TB drive in that is fairly full (about 75%). I've just bought a RN312 as an u...
Does this updating take a while? I tried it yesterday and the 312 just flashed its power LED until I gave up after 10 minutes or so.

I had another thought. Could it be because I'm not trying to migrate it to a pure "diskless" system? The manual only takes about migrating to a diskless NAS.
I had installed one temporary hard drive to upgrade the firmware, and then just swapped the disks. Could it perhaps be that the 312 is still expecting the temporary drive to be there somehow?
Can I somehow downgrade it back to "diskless"? I can't seem to use the "destroy" volume option in the settings with a single drive in there. Factory reset I would also assume to reboot and start formatting the temporary drive already in there?
