shifting discs from Readynas Duo to Readynas 102
Hi anyone, I have a six year old Readynas Duo. If I buy a new Readynas 102, is it possible to put the discs from the old unit to the new one without any problems?

No. The RN102 is very different, and uses a completely different file system. It will need to reformat your drives - losing your data.
The best thing is to get new disks, and migrate the data with frontview backup. Then you can re-purpose the duo to be a backup NAS.
Thanks very much for the answer and from the south coast of Sweden!
