I have just bought a new computer - what is the easiest way to transfer the data from my Ready NAS 102 to the new hard drive? I can find the shares with the data on it, I'm just not sure how to move it.

That's really an issue for the new computer and what you plan to copy. Data files just copy over.

 

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge. In this case, we aren't even talking routers.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

Drag and Drop is of course one way, and is generally what I do.

 

If you have a lot of files to migrate, you could also use a tool intended for bulk file transfers.  FreeFileSync and TeraCopy  are two of several possibilities.
