    Hi Jmeyer00,

     

    Yes, it is possible to move the 4x8TB disks from the RN2120 to the RN3138 without data loss since both systems are running on OS6. If you have any apps installed on the RN2120, those apps might not work when you move the disks to the RN3138 because you are migrating from an ARM-based unit to an Intel-based unit. You should at least uninstall the apps first then just install the x86 version of the app after the migration.

     

    It will also be best if you do a full backup before the migration just to be safe.
