Migration from older to new ReadyNAS
My long used (>10 years) ReadyNAS NV+ just ended its live, the power supply (I guess) did give up today. So it is time to look out for a new home fo rmy data. Since a ReadyNAS served me well I saw ...
If the firmware stored in the flash memory is different from what is on the disks, then the NAS will install the flash onto the drives. This will happen even if the flash is older (that is, it will attempt to downgrade in that case).
