Anybody know the answer

I have a Premade Nas unit with two hard hard drives inside. I have lots of things on my nas already including movies and music. If I take the hard drives out and put them into my computer, will I be able to see all my files and edit them

If you're "Premade " NAS doesn't use some sort of RAID configuration, and a normal NTFS file system, YES.

If it does use RAID its kinda complicated depending on which RAID it uses, be careful with this one as you might end up loosing the data.

If its running linux for example or uses ext3/4 or another as a file system your windows PC might not be able to read the data directly.

Check which Nas you have first that's what I recommend.

I can say with a pretty good amount of certainty that the answer is no.

Chances are no but it depends on the File System the NAS is using and weather or not it's in RAID1 or RAID0.

 

In all likelihood the answers no it won't work.

 

I have to assume you're connected to it via a 1Gbit network link. Chances are the performance you'd see by plugging the drive into your computer if the goal is to copy data on/off wouldn't be worthwhile enough to chance it not working. Better off leaving it in the NAS and copying via SMB.

Premades typically run linux, so if your main rig runs linux your changes are higher. Since it is only 2 drives my gut tells me it is mirrored so no big deal.

 

In all honesty though, takes maybe 5 minutes to find out vs waiting hours for us to reply lol - just try it. Either it works or it doesnt, so long as you don't try to write datat to it or format it, you'll be fine.

I have a 10gbit network and a cat6 cable going from my switch to my nas. I also have my pc with a 10gbit network card plugged into the same switch. I am only getting speeds of 10-30 mbps transfering files from Nas to my pc's m.2 SSD. Any idea why it's so slow

An entire list of things could cause that. You should be seeing 125~150MB+. What NAS unit are you using?
