Installing OS QTS 5.2.xx and applications on SSD M.2

If you have an array you disconnected from a QTS NAS, the NAS breaks and you buy a new QuTS NAS, you cannot use that array in there. Same goes if you replace the QNAP with any other manufacturer device.

If you had an external DAS (e.g. TR004 or a backup NAS with the data) you can restore the data from these anywhere you like.
