So, I host a couple of websites as well as my media interface (Jellyfin) and to do that, I use a mini PC with Ubuntu on it and a 20TB WD HDD external drive that has the actual media on it (using 18TB of it). The NAS equipment and drives arrive at my house tomorrow. Each NAS hard drive will be 18TB in size. I plan to use my NAS setup in addition to the server mini PC. I also plan to simply copy-and-paste the 18TB of media from the current external drive to the NAS setup, but how do I do that since the NAS will have 4 different drives in it? I've never used or had a NAS before Because already, one of the drives would be full, so as I put new media on the other 3 drives, how do I tell Ubuntu/Jellyfin where to get the media from at that point? I also remember in the past when I had old SSD's and then bought this big 20TB HDD to store it all on one drive instead, my entire Jellyfin library got messed up and I had to re-import everything, etc etc - can this be avoided?
