Hi mazerj,
Since the ReadyNAS Pro 6 and RN316 are both Intel-based ReadyNAS, all I know is its possible that you could insert your existing drives from the ReadyNAS Pro 6 to the new RN316 bays accordingly from which you have pulled it out. Make sure that the new RN316 is still off while you insert your existing drives. Then, power on your new RN316 and you should be able to access the data. BE SURE to COPY/BACKUP your data right away once you were able to access it.

If you are hesitant in what I have suggested, it would be best that you do it with Netgear Support over the phone for guidance: http://support.netgear.com/general/contact/#tab-call
