Whilst technically that should be enough it's not recommended. If one of the 4 disks should happen to be failing you may run into issues.
I would recommend getting the 316 and using that.
Do you recall which firmware you were running on the Pro Pioneer?

If I remember correctly the Pioneer was running 4.2.27.
For all I know the disks should be fine and the array ok.

Yes, but if you have just the 4 disks installed in a new model if a problem comes up with just one of the disks then it could potentially lead to all your data being unrecoverable.

I understand that.
But putting 4 of the 6 disks in the 314 would work well enough to get the data of the disks safely?
Does it simply boot up in some sort of 4.2x mode or does it need to reassemble the array?
I´m a bit nervous if it would start to perform some operation that erases the disks or formats it automatically to 6.2.
Would it be a much better option to get the 316 instead of the 314?
There´s a big difference in price and it appears that the main difference is the 6 bays instead of 4.
Same cpu and ram, so the performance should be equal?
Some reviews mention the 314 as being very noisy, that does put me a bit off.

Could always just pick up another unit:
Cheaper than the 316 and I believe more powerful
