Hello, I have a NAS TM F2-210 in Raid 1 with two disks 4gb.
I want to upgrade to F2-221, which is the correct procedure to switch the disks in the new nas and maintain all my files intact?
Thanks

F2-210 and F2-221 are devices of different architectures, the hard disk of F2-210 must be formatted if you want to use it on F2-221。Therefore, you need to back up the device data through other storage devices or network disks.

Thanks TMzethar
as there are two disks in raid, is it possible to format one by one and avoiding to backup? Actually I don-t have other disks where I can put the backup...

The premise is that your array is raid1. You can keep a disk in F2-210 and copy the data to F2-221 after F2-221 is installed.
