Upgrading ReadyNAS NV+ Chasis to ReadyNAS 51600

In your situation the process is simple, setup the new Nas with the new drives.
Create exactly the same users, groups and shares on the new Nas as exist on the old.
Setup a backup job on the new Nas to pull data from the old - one job for each share. You could use any network protocol like cifs, nfs or rsync. Raync likely slower than others.
To facilitate easy of access by your devices, simply rename the new Nas with the name of the old Nas and also change the IP address of the new Nas to match the old.
Obviously you'll need to change the name and ip of the old Nas.
As for using the old Nas, a backup unit would be one possible function.
