ReadyNAS RND4000 Move HDD into another Identical Unit
HI, I can see some similar posts but I just want to conifrm a couple of things with my ReadyNAS. I have a RND4000 that has died (aka wont power on) and I also have an exact same version that works ...

The new one has the latest version of Raidiator 4.1.16 but Im not sure if the dead unit has the same version.
Can I simply just moved the drives into the new unit and everything will still be the same?
You can just move the drives to the new unit (powered down), preserving slot order if you can.
If there is older software installed on the disks, then the system will update them to 4.1.16 on the first boot.
If the array wasn't damaged in some way when the old NAS failed, then the data should remain intact.
