I have a thecus 4200Pro running RAID 6 with 4 drives. Can I just pull the drives out and put them in the AS5304T and continue using them? Or would I lose my data?
Asked by: Esther
No, you cannot do that. If the HDDs are configured in Thecus NAS, then you will need to back up these files in another space, and then upload them to the new AS5304T. If the original NAS is still working, the easiest way should be FTP and then RSync or CIFS folder mounting. Here is the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZnoY4NXIbI
