Lost the computer that held my data due to a power surge through the cable. Looking to replace the computer while keeping my fingers crossed that my data survived.
Pc was a HP Z1 g5 workstation that had plenty of room for my drives. Currently 2- 3.5" and 1- 2.5", in addition to a NVME boot drive.
Struggling to find a good deal (tight budget as ive had to replace a lot of equipment from the surge)on a similar system with large case. I am seeing lots of good deals on mini and micro form factor systems that would meet my needs.
Started looking at usb 3.1/3.0 drive enclosures but have some questions.
Can I still map each drive individually in a USB type enclosure or do I have to utilize some form of raid?
Current setup was a 3.5" drive was primary Jellyfin media, the second was a redundant copy of the first. The 2.5" was used as a shared drive on my network and for backup of a couple of computers.
