Upgrade from DS216J to DS218 or DS218 – Migration

Hi, I currently have DS216J and thinking upgrading to DS218 or DS220+ and need some guide to how to replace exciting HDD over to new NAS. is there a walk-through guide ? I’m not sure by just swapping the HDD over to new NAS will work?

Yes, you can move drives from J series to VALUE series models (ds218/ ds218play models that are not J nor + ). Migrating to Plus series (ds220+ etc) would require resetting the system. You can use a backup disk to move data or if you get new drives for a new NAS you can copy data over using the network.

I hope this helps.
