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 to upgrade. I have pretty much locked in the Ultra 6 Plus and was wanting to know what the process was for getting all my data from one unit onto the other. I'm not an advanced user so be gentle with me please. The NV+ has 4x 1.5TB at the mo and I have yet to decide on what drives for the Ultra. All advice greatfully accepted. Cheers

- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserIf you get an NV+ v2, that will work (both the migration and the future expansion).
The platform (x86, sparc, arm) has to match - if you attempted to do this with a v1, ultra, or pro, then the disks would be wiped. - Chappy_OzAspirantThanks StephenB for the quick response.
Will let you know how I get on.
Impressed so far with the Netgear quality and quality of these forums. That's what led me to purchase Netgear over other brands...
