I have an old qnap 569 pro that I am thinking about replacing with a custom-built NAS. I was wondering if there was an easy way to keep the data when moving the hard drives without having to format them at all. Of course, I would then install a new os on the custom built, but i would prefer not to have to move all my data before doing this.
