1. Please check your system partition size under control panel>overview>"/", if it's 2GB, please back up data first, or use M.2 SSD to set up F6-424 then insert old disks from F5-221 then old data is accessible.
2. If it's 8GB, the F5-221 uses Legacy boot mode, while the F6-424 uses UEFI boot mode. Since hard drives cannot be directly inserted and used between NAS models with different boot modes, reinstallation of the TOS system will be required in such cases. During this process, data will be retained, but system configuration will be erased.
