Hi Sp4,
In case the ReadyNAS chassis itself fails, you can move the disks to another 4-bay or more ReadyNAS OS6 units and it should retain all its data and config.
It will also be best if you have a backup of your data because the NAS alone is not enough to keep your data safe.

The OS is also on the drives btw.
You can migrate the disks to another )OS-6 ReadyNAS (preferrably an x86 model - RN300 and above).
