Moving Disks from a failed RND2000 to a new 4 bay system.
Hi Folks,
I have an RND2000 which appears to have failed, flashing Blue light and not recognised by Raidar. I am looking to replace it with a 4 bay unit, RN42400. If I move the drives from the RND2000 to the new RN42400 unit will the data be recognised and available?
Also, can I then add drives to the new unit to increase the overall storage?
The data cannot be recognized because of the different CPU type of the two models.
I recommend to make a separate backup of all your data from the HDDs. Then you could format the HDDs and use them in the new RN424. Of course you can do this only if the discs are compatible with the new device, you can check the compatibility here.
When the new RN424 is installed you could paste your data from the backup.
Alternatively, you can decide to buy a support contract and then our engineers will help you with the displacement.
For more information about the contracts please contact NETGEAR support.
