Data migration from WD NAS to QNAP NAS

Post by HKey_Root »

QNAP TS-251+

Is there a way of accessing my network from this device so that I can upload files from the WD to my new QNAP? At the moment I am copying files from one to t'other via a WIndows PC and it's taking days and of course it means the PC is on the whole time. I am in no position to increase the network throughput so I was hoping that by getting the 2 NASs to communicate direct (albeit via the router) there would be some increase in speed.

Thanks in anticipation.
