Hello everyone!
I just setup a new HTPC for my home. I have attached to that HTPC a 5TB hard drive. I am storing all of my movies on this drive to be streamed throughout my home via Plex. I have an old Dlink DNS-320 Nas enclosure and although it's pretty slow, I would like to use it to backup all the movies from the 5TB drive.
Right now, I have two 3TB drives. I was thinking that I can combine these drives to 6TB inside the NAS and backup the 5TB drive to this. Is it a good idea to set it up this way or should I instead install another 5TB drive into the NAS and let the HTPC drive backup to that? I'm pretty new to this but my goal is to create a backup to the 5TB drive installed on the HTPC so that if it ever crashes, I won't lose all my movies. Thanks to anyone who can help!
