Hi all
I am setting up a Linux media server and have approximately 1.5 Tb of data on a 2 Tb drive from a DNS 321 NAS that I want to transfer across to the media server. The NAS drive has no USB ports - what is the best way to do this? Can it be done easily? What information is required in order to answer the question(s)? The 2 Tb drive will just be a data drive in the server, so is all I need to do change the file system?
As you can see, I'm completely new to this, but in my defense, I'm really good at other things
Thanks in advance for your help, and for an excellent piece of software
David
The server will be running Ubuntu 12.04

Re: Transferring files from NAS to Linux
The easiest way to be able to access both the NAS and the destination from your computer and copy/paste the files.
Advanced user would probably use rsync in command line to synchronize the content between the two storages.
