Change ReadyNAS Ultra 4 to ReadyNAS 210
I've got an Ultra 4 today but thinking about changing it to a newer model. Can I just move my disks from the Ultra 4 to a 210 (RN214)? I need a version that can stream to Plex on PS3/PS4/mobile phone...
RN214 is brand new (released a few weeks ago).
I'd compare pricing with the RN314 and RN316 first. If the gap is small, maybe go with an RN300 series. One reason: lifetime chat support comes with the RN300 and above.
OS6 can use transmission for torrents (though I don't, so I have no recommendations on that).

No, you can't. I suggest new disks for the new NAS, and using the ultra-4 for backup.
So how do I move my files to the new one? Impossible..? :(

If you start with new drives, you create back up jobs (via the admin web ui) to move the data over the network (NAS to NAS).
It's not difficult.
Ok. Well, it might be time to change to bigger disks (got four 2GB today).
Is the RN214 a good choice? I can't find it in many stores in Sweden though. Is there a newer version around the corner..?
I assume there's a torrent client for it as well..?
