So I'm wondering, is there any reason i just cant pull the drives from this unit and stick it into a new 626/526
JohnCM_S sent you the link for this. The net is that you can temporarily mount the drives in the RN626/RN526 as read-only, so you can extract the data. If you have a current backup there isn't any point to doing that, but if you don't, then that will let you extract the data.
