Not really. With x86 OS-6 ReadyNAS, you can temporarily mount your volume so you can offload data. But you cannot simply migrate the disks - after you offload data, you complete the setup, and that will reformat the disks. OS-6 uses the BTRFS file system, so you can't simply migrate. https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86

could you provide me some further models
Any OC 6 desktop model of RN300 series or better supports the temporary mounting feature.
For direct migration you'd need to purchase a used OS 4.2 system (pro, ultra, ultra pro). Anything you find will be at least 5 years old. You could also replace the PSU in your NVX.
