My Live Book Duo (RAID) upgrade to EX2

my question is simple, can I pull the drives out of my livebook duo 8TB raid and put it in the bays of a driveless EX2? If so, am i correct in saying the usb 3.0 connection will be extremely faster?

thanks so much in advance!

Hi and welcome tot he WD community.

You are able to put the drives on the diskless unit, but you will have to reformat the drives in order for them to work on this device, so if the drives do have data on them you will have to back this data up and then reformat the drives on the unit since its using a different system than the My Book Live Duo.

Thanks ArMaK!

one question, are the drives from my live book duo capable of the writing speed of the EX2, as in, USB 3.0 speed?

I believe the My Book Live duo has a USB 2.0 port.
