Hi, New to the forum (I did search for an answer but did not quite find the same scenario): My log showed the following messages: Mon Apr 20 13:01:20 EDT 2015 A SATA reset has been performed on ...
I'd go with NTFS - so you can access the backup data from the old PC - and back up to the old laptop. That should run about 10 MB/s. This will likely take 1-2 days (depending on how full the NAS volume is).

If you connect the drive directly to the DUO and use NTFS, then it will be a lot slower (~2.5 MB/s - 4x longer to back up). Linux formats run 10-14 MB/s - about the same amount of time as backing up to your PC.
