    You can power down both OS-6 NAS, then move the disk(s).  I recommend preserving slot order.

     

    If the target OS-6 NAS uses an x86 processor, the OS partition will be updated.  However, some (likely most) apps won't work.

     

    Also, if the target NAS isn't running the same firmware as the source, then the newest firmware will be applied.  That is, if the target NAS has newer firmware in its flash, then the disk OS partition is updated.  If the source NAS was running newer firmware, then the target NAS flash is updated from the disk.

      Do files get damaged? This is the most important thing for me. The files in my company are damaged
      Files are images, files, video files
