Reuse disks from old NVX system in EDA500
Hi,
I am about to purchase a EDA500. It will be attached to a 516. The question I have is.
I currently have some spare 3 TB disks that used to be used in a old Readynas NVX system.
Am I able to insert these into the EDA500 and have it format them to create a new volume or do I need to prepare them some how first?
I did find a kb article that involed a factory reset. Which I don't want to do as I still have data on the main volume in the 516.
Thanks
You should be able to insert them in the EDA500, and format them there.
If you want, you can connect them to a PC and unformat them (or zero them) first - but you shouldn't have to do that.
