I’m beginning my data hoarding journey and I’m in the Apple ecosystem so I had originally bought an old HP Envy desktop with windows 11 and installed an 8tb hdd that was holding my media. The desktop wouldn’t turn on yesterday and after research I believe it’s due to a failing power supply, which is proprietary on the HP Envy.
So now I have 2tb of media on an 8tb hard drive that I can’t access and I’m not sure where to go from here. I was eventually planning on building an unraid server but that’s a ways out due to budget constraints (and I’m just not there yet anyways).
What would y’all do? I don’t really need a windows computer other than the fact that it was my plex server…my Mac mini serves all other purposes for me. The HP Envy was $140 and I’m having a hard time finding a comparable replacement!
