Model 312 (2 drive) to Model 314 (4 drive) Upgrade
We currently have many ReadyNAS 312 devices – each with two disks and operating as a RAID 1 configuration but configured as X-Raid.. We want to replace these units with ReadyNAS 314 devices. W...
You don't need to power down the 314 before adding the 3rd and 4th disks. You can add those while the NAS is on.
The configuration file should work, I think. Note though that the OS, configuration etc. is stored on the disks. So you should need to only do a few config tweaks after moving the disks across (if anything). Obviously you will need to disable X-RAID either before moving the disks across to the new chassis or afterwards to do the switch to Flex-RAID.
