ReadyNAS NV upgrade to ReadyNAS NV+
My ReadyNAS NV power supply has failed (3rd time). I just ordered a newer ReadyNAS NV+. ReadyNAS support told me I will be able to take the drives out of the older NV box and put them in the NV+ box. ...
Ah, well you'd be running very old firmware then. The new unit will most likely come with much newer firmware. I'd suggest you update the firmware as suggested in the migration link provided above to ensure the firmware on the flash matches what's on the disks. There have been lots of bug fixes, new features and other enhancements since you purchased your NV.
Also, hopefully your new NAS will have come with trays with circular buttons on the trays. These trays are known to get stuck sometimes. See http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/how_can_i_release_a_stuck_disk_tray
Hopefully the new NV+ comes with trays with rectangular buttons. These trays don't get stuck. If the new unit has disk trays with rectangular buttons you'll probably want to use the new trays and perhaps keep the old ones as spares or try to sell them to get a bit of money back towards your new unit.
