I've been running an old Windows 10pc as my Plex server using whatever drives I could get.

  • External 4TB drive
  • Internal 4TB drive
  • Internal 8TB drive
  • 256 SSD to run Windows OS

I've recently picked up Five 6TB drives that I want to run in a striped raid. I've been playing with TrueNAS, but have been having issues trying to get the Plex app to find the libraries that I've repopulated (music and photos so far). Been thinking of going back to win 10 but need to know what raid options are available to me?

Or is there another option available that will give me an actual file explorer or user interface so I can connect my old drives with an external drive bay to copy my stuff back into the meet raid array? Or a TrueNAS walkthrough that can help me get this working correctly? I'd even use a full forged Linux distro and would be preferred over Windows anyway. This is my first foray into creating my own NAS so all the patience is appreciated!
