Hi would this work. As previously posted. I now have an rn312 . I also have a duo v1 with 2 bt drives. 1 . Put in a single spare 500 gig unused drive into the 312 . 2. Copy all files across...
The very first thing to confirm (before migrating disks) is that the new chassis is in the same family. Otherwise your disks will be wiped no matter how you do it. So if the model number is different, you might confirm here. Also, you are likely getting a refurbished chassis, not something brand new. So look it over carefully. Perhaps run the fron panel memory diag.
You should boot up the new unit with a scratch disk first, and then manually install the same firmware you are using on old version. If the firmware version differs from the NAS flash, the NAS will reinstall the firmware. The scratch disk install also confirms the new NAS is functional. After you are done with the scratch disk, shut down the NAS and migrate all the disks (preserving the slot order).
If you don't have a backup, you should address that as soon as possible.
