I have a MiniPC with one WD EasyStore 18TB External HDD. I want to expand with either another exact HDD or something close to it. I've been eyeing a couple DAS enclosures but ultimately have settled on the Terramaster D4-300. It will be mainly used for my Plex library. I'm not interested in a NAS setup.

I plan to shuck the EasyStore and use it in the D4-300, but I have a couple questions.

Can I simply shuck the EasyStore and plug it into the D4-300 without losing any media?
Do the drives have to be the exact same or can I use a smaller/different brand HDD?
Is there any options for redundancy with this setup? I know the D4-300 says it does not support RAID but there are other options other than RAID. The media is replaceable but would take ages to recoup in the event of total failure.

Thank you.
