What new readynas can replace Pro Pioneer?

I'm looking to upgrade my readynas pro pioneer.  Is there any new model that I can literally just drop-in my disks and go?

    No.  All new NAS use a completely different file system.

      wow someone needs to fire their product development manager

       

      Wouldn't have been that much more effort to make backwards compatible conversions.

       

      All they did now is open up their EOL customers to go drobo or synology, cuz if you gotta buy all your disks over again for a direct copy, might as well check out the competition!

        readynas os6 has been  using btrfs file format for some time

         

        syn and q are still using old ext3 and ext4 formats although for syn they are planning to switch to btrfs with their new dsm in beta. both are very much behind in adopting btrfs

         

        the pro pioneer is very old. i believe those hard drives are very old too. time to get a new readynas and new hard drives.
