Moving drives from RNDP6350-100NAS to Mordern RN626x/RN526x series?
We've had an old RNDP6350-100 kicking around for YEARS. She's been a great little workhorse and has been happily churning along under a desk without incident. However yesterday as people were moving ...
Hi dreamless,
Welcome to the Community!
The RN526x and the RN626x already have a different operating system so simply moving the disks from the RNDP6350 to the RN526X/626x will not work. You will need to do additional steps to recover the volume from the legacy NAS to the newer one.
You may check this article for the detailed steps.
Regards,
If you have a spare standard ATX supply (or can "borrow" one from a PC), it can be connected externally to power up the NAS and recover the data (to a new ReadyNAS or where ever). Since you'll be runing it a while, it is best to seal the gaps that will be left because of the power cords with masking tape or sonething to insure proper cooling of the drives.
BTW, the supply is an SFX format, and there are a few compatible replacements available. Even though the otiginal is rated at 300W, I recommend at least 350W because the original had more 12V available than typical 300W ones. You'll likely need a 6" 24-pin ATV extension cable and may need to move one of more of the 4-pin Molex connectors from the old to the new to get the needed three.
