Hey this is Vish and noob to Xpenology, i was planning to buy new ds 216 until i found out about Xpenology !
i Was using ds 212j with 2tb +1tb Hdd no raid, all merged (backed up my v important data thru extarnal 1tb hd), unfortunately its motherboard crashed !
NOW is there a way where in i can use my existing dsm hdd (2+1tb HDD) in expenology like plug and play or little work around rather than starting off with a scratch like backing up all my data in other drive and then again tranferring it back which will be heck of a process !
I have another spare internal drive 500gb wherein i can set up xpenology and then attaching the existing internal drives (which i was using in ds212j, 2+1 TB )
Is it all possible ?
if not what would be the best and easiest possible way out to use my internal drives in xpenology ?
As you all must be knowing that windows/mac doesnt recognise the file system of dsm which makes all my data very difficult to access.
