February 9, 20179 yr Goodmorning everyone! I just installed a normal raid. All my storage (4x 4tb WD Red = 12 TB Raid5) is within a Qnap for a total of about 9 TB of used space. I would like to migrate to the normal raid server I just configured and will soon get better hardware. For the moment I have a Asus P7H55-M + Xeon X3440 and 12 GB of DDR3 Ram + 1 sata controller and PCI-4 SATA3 ports. I thought to install the 4 hard drives of the Qnap on a normal raid and copy the files to other disk (parking), then format the 4 Wd Red 4tb with normal raid ... There are better solutions? thank you!
February 9, 20179 yr You need to be a bit more clear on what you are going to do. Qnap we know.. It will give you the option of doing several types of raid configurations. You mention you want to migrate from the qnap to a "normal raid" but it is not clear to me what you mean. You also mention unraid nowhere.. ?
February 9, 20179 yr Author Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I translated my text with Google and has translated the word hurts unraid In summary I would pass by the slow and tedious Qnap the legendary unraid For now I'm going through all files with Wiondos 10 from qnap (Gigabit Network) 3 discs 3TB. Wondering if there is a more direct system .. Thanks again!
February 9, 20179 yr Community Expert unRAID is NOT RAID. Not sure what you mean by slow QNAP, but unRAID is not built for speed. You must let unRAID format any disk it will use, so if you do migrate your QNAP disks to unRAID you can't keep their data.
February 9, 20179 yr What trurl said... Unraid has a lot of great postive sides, speed is not one of them. You really need to reed up more before you take the plunge.
February 9, 20179 yr Author Thanks for your answers. I made the decision and I'm doing this: - It copies files from Qnap 3 TB WD Green 3 + 2 WD 1TB - I dismount disks from Qnap and mount them on the server -unraid- - I connect the WD Green drives .. via USB 3.0 to -unraid- server - Mission accomplished ! I can connect the WD Green via sata?

February 9, 20179 yr Yes, use the "Unassigned Devices" plugin. Mount your WD Green, then use the "mc" program from the commandlne to copy your data across to the unRAID array.
