Moving 2 x 3TB drives into enclosure for Plex

[AndrewPE28]

Hi

Currently I have my plex server running on my main PC with 2 x 3TB drives for storage. The drives are only for plex and a few backups.

I'm getting a Intel NUC to use as a standalone plex server but not sure how to move the 2 storage drives. My main reason for the NUC is I can feel happy leaving it on 24/7.

If I move the 2 drives into an enclosure, will I lose what's on them? Currently I use stablebit drivepool to combine the 2 drives, but I think I've enough empty space to remove them (assuming it doesn't delete the data).

To the enclosure, should I go NAS or USB3.1? Any recommended enclosures? I'll need a 2 bay obviously.

Thanks

Andy

Because a NAS capable of multiple 4k streams is going to be far more than a 7th gen i5 MUC with 16GB ram? Also I may be using it for other things like hosting an Assetto Corsa server and streaming.
