Moving from one readynas to another one
Hi I've got some issue with one NAS (with 2 disks in RAID1) and want to migrate with new one.
I would like to know if you suggest me to either
A) unplug my 2 disks and plug them in new NAS (same model)
either
B) take the opportunity to make a factory reset but i'm unsure on sequence to do it
Am I right if I proceed like this
-unplug disk 2 and plug in bay 2 of new NAS (#2)
-proceed to factory reset of disk 2
-copy from disk 1 in NAS 1 to disk 2 in NAS 2 through lan
will I be able to read disk 1 without disk 2 in NAS 1?
-unplug disk 1 from NAS 1 to plug in bay 1 in NAS 2
will disk 1 automatically paired with disk 2 and mirrored?

- The NAS won't install to USB disks. Maybe start it up w/o disks, and see if RAIDar 6.0 will tell you the OS?
For an RN104, I'd recommend 6.2.4. - To have benefit of new formatting and have no issues during migration, I took simpliest solution (even not the cheapest)
I bought 2 new disks so they were formatted according to 6.2.0 standards which was FW embedded in new NAS and made transfer over LAN
I had heavy transfer during 2 days, and now all is transfered.
Thanks for the help.
