My question is; Can I move the (4) 8TB disks from the RN104 to the RN426 and have any chance of retaining the data?
Yes, you can. The system will convert the OS from the arm version (used by the RN104) to x86 (used by the RN426).
It won't convert apps, so you would need to deal with them (uninstall, reinstall).
I suggest first using a scratch disk (by itself), and installing 6.10.4 firmware on the RN426. Then power it down, and migrate the disks (preserving the slot order).
Of course we are hoping that the power surge didn't damage the disks too.
