    it might be good if you backup the data from the old NAS using an external USB drive then use that on the new NAS.

     

    The Pro only has USB-2 connections, so it would be faster to back up the data over the LAN.

If that disk is not a part of the RAID from your old ReadyNAS Pro then it would be just fine to attach it to an eSATA enclosure, it will be detected by the NAS. However, If it's configured on a RAID even if it's on JBOD it would not start over USB port or eSATA.

 

it might be good if you backup the data from the old NAS using an external USB drive then use that on the new NAS.
