I am running a readyNAS 3200 system with 12 1TB hard drives. This is the primary storage device for medical data in one area of our hospital (i.e. holds raw data from some medical devices). The question has come up what would happen if we had a device failure (not a disk failure but a failure of the CPU etc...).
Would I be able to move the hard drives from the 3200 to a newer diskless 12 bay NAS device (such as a RR3312) to recover the data? What other options would exist for recovering the data?

You can't directly migrate drive to OS 6, but you can boot the OS-6 NAS with the OS-4 drives in place as a read-only volume. Then you can copy off the data to another device.
FWIW, if you can budget ~$2000 you could get an RN526x with 3x6TB drives and use that as a backup device for the R3200. That would significantly reduce the down time if the main NAS were to fail.
