@cybrnook I know this thread is way old, Pre-Pandemic one might say, but I'm now dealing with something similar and your approach seems like something that would be beneficial to me. Can you give me an idea of a script you would use for my situation? Basically, I'm a photographer; I have three 2TB external drives where I store all of the photos from each photoshoot and event that I photograph. The way I have organized their directory structure is by Year, then by project, then raw files along with folder(s) broken out by the concepts of edited, Full-Res, Low-Res, Watermarked Low-Res, etc. On each drive I have a 2022 folder, then inside that folder on one drive might be folders 2022-03-19 and 2022-07-21, then the other drive might have 2022-03-21 and 2022-05-11, and the third drive has several other 2022 project folders. My goal is for my destination folder on the NAS to have all 2022 folders from each drive copied into a single 2022 destination folder. I have sporadically been moving one to two folders at a time from each drive into the single 2022 destination folder. What I feel is my problem now is, if I use RSYNC to move all sub folders under each external drive's 2022 folder but some of those folders are already on the NAS, how do I do it so it moves only new files and folders into the combined folder and skips over any files that are already on the nas and the latest version? I hope this makes sense. Thanks for your willingness to read through this.

Yes, I have Unassigned Devices and Unassigned Devices Plus installed. However I'm not seeing the server recognize the USB drive to approach mounting it. Or maybe I just don't know where I'm supposed to be seeing it.

I'm trying to connect an external SSD that is exFat. I've tried several of the onboard usb ports, as well two usb ports connected by PCIe. No matter where I plug the drive in, it never shows up. Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, it looks like the hardware isn't even seeing it. I've got it plugged into an onboard USB port, right next to the bootable flash drive which is obviously working. I'm not sure what to try next.

Hey, I'm trying to move a large amount of files from an external SSD exFat through usb connection. I've installed UD and UD+ but am seeing no Unassigned Drives. I've tried rebooting the server and switching the drive to a different USB port. I've got to be doing something wrong. Can anyone offer some guidance? Thanks!
