PR2100 and new office

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud Pro Series

Forgive me if this questions seems a bit basic, but im in need of confirmation.

Preface: My current administrative office for a small business uses the PR2100 which works perfectly, we are adding a new office at which point the main administration will migrate to this new location. We have purchased a new PR2100 FOR THIS NEW LOCATION.

Should i move the existing PR2100 with admin files to new location, and install new blank shell system at old office…
Or, install the new PR2100 at new location first, then just swap out hard drives when we move to mitigate downtime. And can i do that.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi wdfteam,

You can use the old My cloud PR2100 in the new office and install the new My Cloud PR2100 in the old office or you can also do the RAID roaming on the My Cloud. You can refer to the link mentioned below to know more about RAID roaming.
