Upgrading from RN212 to RN214

Upgrading from my RN212 to a RN214 and want to migrate my two 6tb drives and add two more eventually.  The two 6tb drives are set up X-Raid.  Can I just take the two 6tb drive out of the RN212 and put them into two of the slots in the RN214 and then boot up the system?  I can add the other two drives latter.  I know there are similar posts, I just wanted to be specific. Thanks

    You can definitely do that procedure migrating both disks on another OS 6 Unit. You can check here Migrating a Volume

     

    Since the two 6TB are on X-RAID once you have added new disks it will expand and change it's RAID type automatically.

     

    Hope this helps!
