Glad this is resolved. However your "new" NVX would be a pretty old NAS unit now. I would've gone with an Ultra or Pro if going with a RAIDiator-x86 unit as they're newer and better than the NVX and designed to handle migration from the NVX smoothly. There is no NETGEAR warranty or support for 2nd hand purchases.
If I was you I'd be planning to get a new ReadyNAS (e.g. RN424) with new disks and relegating the NVX to backup the new one.

I am planning to upgrade my current model, I just need to get maybe a year out of this one which I don't think will be a problem. The "new" unit looks nearly brand new and the "old" one was inheritied from a medium sized office with high milage and gave me two good years of service. Thank you again for all the help.
