I wouldn't move from x86 to ARM.
OS6 x86 can boot from disks with 4.2.x on them for the purposes of copying data off a 4.2.x array. We have a procedure for this.
Moving an array from a legacy x86 device running OS6 to a new OS6 x86 device should work, but if the legacy device is still working copying the data across your network e.g. using backup jobs would be a better option.
Unfortunately a number of users don't backup their data. We do what we can by allowing migrating disks from one NAS to another with the same CPU architecture and OS, but sometimes someone may think their NAS has failed only for it to turn out the problem is with one or more disks or the array.
