Morning, All,
I have an Home Theater P C.
Attached to the PC is an Orinco 5 bay usb3 drive cage.
The drive cage contains 5 independent 3 TB drives containing 13.6 TB of media files.. These files are organized alphabetically: Drive 1 contains movies 00 thru C; Drive 2 contains movies D thru G; Drive 3 contains H thru Q; Drive 4 contains R thru S; and Drive 5 contains T thru Z. (This reasonably balances usage across the drives and movies can be found by selecting the drive containing the alphabetic range, then the title within the drive.)
Everything is backed up on another set of drives.
There MUST be a better way....
I am using Win10. What about using Storages Spaces to build a mirrored drive pool?
Your suggestions and advice are heartily solicited!
TIA,
Larry
