Infrant ReadyNas + to Netgear ReadyNas + can I swap disks?
I am unsure of the model number. It says Infarant on my manual and it is a ReadyNas NV+ with 4 bays that I filled with disks.
I have a Netgear ReadyNas NV+ which is running the same firmware. I have been good about updating it regularly.
I have an error with Bay 3 on my Infarant, it says it is dead. I tried adding a same size disk to restore it, but no go.
If I take the disks out and put them into the Netgear Ready Nas in the same order as they were in the Infarant, will they be usable as a drive?
I do have the information backed up, but I prefer grabbing it again while I can.
Thank you

- Hopefully that would work.
The migration process does indicate to only move redundant arrays but seeing you have a backup and suspect a hardware problem with the disk bay in the older unit it’s worth a try.
Power down both units. Remove disks (label order).
Don’t forget to recalibrate the fan under Status > Health after moving the disks across.It did not work. The NAS would not boot. If I buy a new NAS, does Netgear still help migrate over my data?

Yes, but they will charge the data recovery rate. https://kb.netgear.com/29876/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-1-or-RAIDiator-5-3-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6
