Put disks from ReadyNAS NV+ into 314 chassis? #23588643
I have an NV+ with 4 disks whose chassis appears to be fried. I am looking at the ReadyNAS 314 diskless and would plan to simply install the disks there and start it up. Will that work? Thanks!
Ye, there is a process (support would advise of steps from when to put disks in, turn on NAS etc.), but that would involve doing a backup, then wiping the disks in the NAS via a factory reset then restoring the data from backup.
The NV+ (v1, I presume?) units you migrated from/to both use the same CPU architecture.
Newer 4-bays than the NV+ (v1) all handle RAID differently to the NV+ (v1). So you can't simply migrate disks across.
Another option is to recover the data yourself e.g. using an ordinary PC: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306
The 314 has a dual-core Intel Atom CPU and performance is considerably faster than on your NV+ (v1). It is a good choice.
