Disk swap to new ReadyNas?

[BSMorgan]

I have an old ReadyNAS Pro 6 bay.  With the recent windows 10 updates, I have lost the ability to connect to the NAS from my PC.  If I buy a new 6 bay chasis, can I just move the disks over in order and maintain my data?

Welcome to the Community!

if you are running the default OS of the ReadyNAS Pro 6 you have then you will have to follow a few steps in order to properly migrate the drives into the new ReadyNAS OS6 unit.

If your Pro 6 is working with OS6 then you just need to transfer the drvies to the new NAS.

Alternatively, you can re-enable SMB1 on your updated Windows10 to gain access back to your NAS shares 🙂
