: Moving HDD from LS-W1.0TGL/R1 to LS-WV2.0TL/R1
: eveland December 14, 2021, 11:56:12 AM

Hello:
My old old Buffalo NAS died and I am wondering if I can take the old drives out and put them into a newer Buffalo NAS?
The old one is LS-W1.0TGL/R1, the newer one is LS-WV2.0TL/R1
Thanks for any help you all can provide.
Eric

The firmware of those generations aren't compatible with each other, you'd need to wipe them and do a fresh install to move to the LS-WVL.

There are some notes about that process in this pinned thread:
