Hi there, I have a pair of 1.5T drives JBOD in my old DNS-323. If I pull those drives and mount to my new DNS343, does the DNS-343 (FW1.05) always format ANY newly mounted drive, or will it recognize the proprietary (lunix?) format drive from DNS-323?
It will save me a lot of time!
Best situation would be if D-link FW provided a "migrate" option to solve this and another option to clone one drive to another withing the DNS-343. Many thanks!
Kind Regards,
Jon

Hello JavaLawyer, many thanks but it does not really say:
Any new drive is always formatted OR 343 accepts and mounts a formatted drive with data from another DNS IF JAOBD and not RAID.
Who know the FW code?
Cheers,
J

I posed the question to my contact at D-Link and will post back if I hear anything back.
In the event that the JBOD can be migrated between both ShareCenters, I strongly recommend backing up your data prior to performing any such procedure.

Adding to my last post, here's another thread on the subject that relates to migrating a JBOD between the DNS-323 and DNS-320, which are two different generations ShareCenters (the DNS-323 and DNS-343 are very close in firmware, HDD formatting, and functionality). You can draw your own interferences from the thread: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=38438.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=38438.0) (I make no guarantees).
As an FYI, I recall some time back that a DNS-320 owner tried to perform a JBOD migration between the DNS-323 and DNS-320 and the DNS-320 did not recognize the volume.
