Upgrade to Ultra, move drives directly?
Hi,
I currently own a ReadyNAS Duo in which I have two 1 TB drives. I see that the new Ultra version performs a lot better and I intend to use mine for video as well and I am considering an upgrade, but is it possible to just take the drives out of the Duo og put them into the Duo Ultra and start it up without a hitch?

- No possible to move all your DUO drives to DUO Ultra directly,because they are using different hardware architecture,you have to backup all data before you do disks migration.

Ok, so I should backup the content on another harddrive and then format the drives, or will the new Netgear box do that?
Will the upgrade from Duo to Ultra2 be worthwhile in terms of transfer speed and "snappyness"?- New NAS will format the drives but you should delete the partitions on the drives before installing them in the Ultra. Definitely worth the upgrade.
