Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have an old qnap 569 pro that I am thinking about replacing with a custom-built NAS. I was wondering if there was an easy way to keep the data when moving the hard drives without having to format them at all. Of course, I would then install a new os on the custom built, but i would prefer not to have to move all my data before doing this.
