Transfer data to ReadyNAS 214 using spare bay
I have an old 2TB Seagate GoFlex Home that died and am upgrading to the ReadyNAS 214. (The drive itself seems good, but the base is toast.) The ReadyNAS has 3-3TB drives with the fourth bay open. ...
Hi birdnugg, as you are on xraid the 214 would try to integrate the newly inserted disk into the existing array, which is not what you need.
So, to my judgement to need to play the sata-usb game, unfortunately.
Other community members might have further suggestions. Good luck with fixing and kind regards.
The NAS won't mount your disk if you insert it, so you will need to connect it some other way (perhaps an usb/sata adapter or dock).
I don't know how the goflex drive is formatted, or how difficult it is to offload the data.
