I have a RAID 5 array of 10 drives on my TS-1079 Pro.
I would like to move all 10 drives to a new TS-1270U-RP.
It's my understanding that as long as the motherboard of the new NAS (in this case, the TS-1270U-RP) uses the same chipset as the original NAS, then the data will remain intact in the new RAID 5.
Is this true? Can I simply move the drives from the TS-1079 Pro to the TS-1270U-RP (in order, of course) and retain the data? Or is it not that simple?

Moving the 10 Drives over is that easy. Check out the Migrating from Old NAS section of the fine manual.rsmedia wrote:I have a RAID 5 array of 10 drives on my TS-1079 Pro.

Note that with 10-12 drives the chance of failing 1 or 2 drives at the same time is 10-12 times higher than with single disk. That can be less than one year. I would recommend you using RAID6 or 2xRAID5 (and maybe 3xRAID5) with new storage pools feature.
