Moving 2 hard drives to a new NAS

Hello,

I have a problem with the hard drives in my TS-251. Since I kept getting notifications that the hard drives were not healthy, I wanted to copy the contents of the drives to the existing hard drive in my TS-433-4G. To do this, I shut down the old NAS, removed the hard drives, and installed them in the new NAS. However, none of the contents of these hard drives are displayed there. In the old NAS, the drives were combined into a spanning volume. Is there a way to make the contents of these drives visible in the new NAS as well?

Alternatively, I reinstalled the drives in the TS-251, but I can no longer get the operating system on this NAS to run. On the start page, I have the following three options:

  1. Start with the existing operating system, keeping the user data,
  2. Reset to factory settings, keeping the user data,
  3. Initialize the drives, which will erase all data.

I have tried the first two options several times, but always end up back at the start page. How can I fix this problem?

Best regards,

Dirk

Unfortunately, the new NAS is not compatible… always check migration compatibility beforehand.

I hope you have backups… in the worst case, your data could be lost.

Sorry, I hadn’t checked the compatibility beforehand. Is there a way to get the hard drives in the old NAS running with their contents again, without the startup process getting stuck in a loop? Or were the drives modified just by being installed in the newer NAS, so that they no longer work in the old NAS?

Im besten Fall wurde nur das OS auf den Platten überschrieben, im Schlechtesten alle Daten..deswegen ein Ticket aufmachen oder gleich zum Datenretter (da die Backup Frage ignoriert wurde)
