Can I move my disk drives from a failed ReadyNAS NVX to a ReadyNAS Pro 6v2

Can I move my disk drives from a failed ReadyNAS NVX to a ReadyNAS Pro 6v2

I have a 6 year old readyNAS NVX which has just failed.  Not clear why but just won't start at all.  

Rather than attempting to fix I'm thinking to buy a second hand case and slot the existing 4 drives in.

I need to access the disks, some of which is not backed up elsewhere.

What ReadyNAS models will that work with?  There is a Pro 6v2 for sale at the moment and I'm wondering if that would work.

I was running RAIDar 4.2.2 on the old drive.

Model: ReadyNASRNDX4210|ReadyNAS NVX

Any NAS that ran 4.2.x should work.

However second hand units may be in questionable condition and there would be no NETGEAR support for it.

You may prefer to get a new x86_64 ReadyNAS e.g. RN314, RN316 or RN516 and follow this guide: ReadyNAS: Migrating disks from RAIDiator to OS 6
