How to migrate data from old F4-424 Pro to new F6-424 Max

[plexjellyfin]

Hello,

I am running latest version of TOS 6
Two 1TB SSD configured as RAID 0 - Storage Pool 1
Two 20TB HDD configured with TRAD - Storage Pool 2

How do I migrate or transfer these hard drives without having to initialize everything?

Hello! Please follow the following steps:
System installation: If not already done, please use a new hard drive in the F6 device to install version 6.0. x of the system (if the new system installation has been completed, this step can be skipped).
Device shutdown: Please confirm that both F6 and F4 devices are in the shutdown state.
Hard disk migration and startup: Move all hard disks from F4 to F6, with no requirement for the order of disk slots. Then, turn on the F6 device.
Additionally, you can refer to the following link for more information: viewtopic.php?t=5387.

Hello, to migrate your drives without initializing, ensure the target system is compatible with your RAID 0 (SSD) and TRAD (HDD) configurations. Before moving the drives, back up important data, then transfer them directly into the new NAS or setup without re-initialization, as TOS 6 supports drive migration.

Took about 3 days for an ew 20TB hard drive to be synchronized and as soon as it finished the process started again.

F6-424 Max
TOS 6.0.507
Bios 5.26
IronWolf NAS HDD 20TB x 3

I let the system run and did not touch it for the entire duration.
What happened?

Hi. Any update? I have to do a similar migration, and curious how yours went..
Kinda scared, maybe populated with new disks and then just copy?
