NAS Drive question - Buffalo Linkstation Duo

 Hi All

Can anyone help with this though its not strictly related to Sonos issues?

I have an old Buffalo Linkstation Duo that registered a disc failure so I replaced the disc and the other one failed. So I replaced that one and within a few days it registered a failure on the first brand new one!

Im assuming that is a power issue or a fault with the chassis rather than the discs as they are brand new.

So my question is if I kept the discs (assuming they are fine which they should be as they are brand new) and just switched them into a replacement chassis - an identical one ie a Buffallo Linkstation Duo - is it as simple as that?

Would my PC and everything simply pick up the NAS drive as usual? Or is it more complex than that?

Any help much appreciated.

Silly post counter still stuck at zero several minutes after the answer I posted here showed up.

Edit, and this second post unstuck it so it is showing two now.
