ReadyNAS 212 Migration
I cannot get the NetGear sales department to respond to me (Not a good sign) so I'm posting my question here hoping for some insight.
I am interested in the ReadyNAS 212 but have some questions...
Thank you. A lot of what you said makes my head spin but I think you are saying since I have two drives from Synology, I could bring one of them up on the ReadyNAS 212 and then migrate the data from the other Synology drive onto the ReadyNAS? If I place the Synology Drive in bay 2 of the ReadNAS will it be able to see the data to copy over?
Hmmm. I just re-read and I think you are saying I boot the other drive in the Synology drive, Which is not possible because their system went down and they will not provide support, w hich is why I am leaving them.

I was assuming the Synology was functional.
Do you need to extract data from it? With older ReadyNAS systems, R-linux for Windows can access the data, I don't have any experience with Synology, but I suspect it might work there also. You'd need to connect one of the disks to a Windows PC (using SATA or with a USB adapter/dock). https://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/
I don't know Linux but I installed that software and attached is a screenshot of what I see. I have the drive plugged in via a hard disk dock but I do not see it on the list.
Do you see it in the windows disk manager? Also you should try the other disk too.
