Swapping Hard drives from Ts210 to Ts412

[Poisedgord]

I currently have a TS-210 with 2 hdd installed. I am considering upgrading to the ts-412 and need to know if i could just pull out my 2hdd from 210 and put in 412 and still be able to read and access data on them or would i have to backup data especially the mother hdd with system files etc on it and do a clean install on 412.

Start with the two drives in the first two slots of the TS-412 (don't try to build the TS-412 first with two other disks in the first slots for example).

FMI see QNAP Turbo NAS User Manual - Getting Started - System Migration -> http://docs.qnap.com/nas/en/index.html? ... ration.htm

All configuration data, users, shares, ... will be retained.

Enjoy!

...or would i have to backup data...

Anything can always go wrong so a backup of all important data is always necessary. Not only when doing advanced administrative tasks like a System Migration.
