Drobo 5N dead - Enquiries - 10-10-2023
Hi Guys,
Last week my 5N box died so now I have the two drives looking for a new home.
I have tried searching to see if it is possible to simply buy a QNAP or Synology and simply place the existing drives in and migrate / copy to new new drives.
I am using MAC.
If you could be so kind and let me know it would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mark

You can use those drives in other NAS brands, but you need to wipe/format them. So make a backup and then after formating you can copy your data back on your new server.
