Hi LilRos,
Both units are x86 and run on OS6 firmware so you can just transfer the disks from the RN314 to RN3138 and it will run as it is (https://kb.netgear.com/22895/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Migrating-a-volume).

- Just one more question... My 314 is up-to-date on firmware with Version 6.10.3. The RN3138 is on 6.10.2. Is this a problem? Should I update it first before migrating?

Thanks
