Loading data into ReadyNAS using esata port

Migrating data from my ReadyNAS-Pro to my new 424 box and I have a large amount of data that I backed up onto a single larg disk.   Is there anyway to take that disk, attach it to the esata port on...

    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.

Thanks Guys, I was able to fully move my data from my hobbled Pro unit to my new 424.  Using a combination of esata, and LAN connections. 

 

Looking at the "backup" feature of the 424, it appears that you can transfer either way to an attached local disk (esata or USB).

 

Feels so good to have my NAS up and running again.

 

Just wish the 424 supported the "recycle" feature of the old Pro...

 

Thansk again, Stu
