Yes, you can move your existing drives over to the new TS-462 and replace them with the 8TB drives one at a time. Just make sure to choose the migrate option during setup and select the clean start option to wipe the data on the existing drives. However, it would be quicker to simply put the new drives in a new NAS and set it up independently. As long as the drives are SATA drives, they will be compatible with the new NAS. You can export the NAS settings into a file and import them into the new NAS. Once both NAS are connected to the LAN, data can also be copied over to the new NAS. Alternatively, if you have a USB docking station, you can connect one of the old drives to the new NAS and copy data directly.
