upgrading using old disks NV+ to RN214

Hi, thanks for advice on upgrading and retaining old disks,  I have a readyNAS NV+, so well over 10 years old.  It runs fine but is showing its age and this obsolete tech has issues, as you will know...

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    It is fine to use the old drives you have from the NV+ to your RN214 but the data needs to be backed up first since the drives will be reformatted once you migrate the drives to the RN214.

     

    It is also possible to get the data accessible on the RN214 before formatting the drives but it will need intervention from Support. IMO, it would be best if you have a backup of your drive and start from scratch on the RN214 and transfer the data once setup is complete.

     

    Straight migration is not possible since they have different OS.
