Yes it is the easiest way to restore your raid but you must keep the same disks arrangement in their slot.

Yes you can do it but I think you should assemble manually the raid after rebooting, for example not sure the current sda is still the former sda disk
OK, so the easyest way i thinkis this:
1) I remove the disks from within the other Nas (as them are 5 empty disks).
2) Then i insert in that other nas the 5 RAID5 disks from that blow up Nas. So, in this way, the other Nas can reckognize the Raid without rebuild manually nothing and i can use it just in a minutes.
3) The empty disks from the other nas...mmm... so, as them are empty, I can using them with a raspberry with fvdw firmware and sata hub interface. In this way i can connect the 5 empty disk with sata hub to the raspberry and then, I can create a FRESH NEW RAID5 from fvdw interface.
Can it work? (i never see the fvdw interface from a raspberry, so i donìt know if i can create raid configuration with a sata hub interface).
