Data transfer NV+ (V1) - Ultra 6 Plus
Hi All. I am a home user and have had a NV+ for about 6 years now (and absolutely love it) but given the 2TB limitation of HDD's for this NAS and the fact that its almost full I have decided its time...
The simplest thing is to get the ultra, and then user frontview backup to copy the data over your network. Though if you don't have a gigabit ethernet setup, you should get an gigabit switch (or replace your router with a gigabit router) as part of the upgrade.
Western Digital's new "red" drive line is a good choice, it is certified for NAS use by both Netgear and WD. I suggest getting 3 TB drives (3 3TB drives would give you 6 TB of storage, compared to the 4.5 TB you have now. That gives you 3 slots for further expansion).
You can continue to use your current NAS as a way to backup up your most critical data from the ultra.
