I have what I'm sure is a dumb question which I know the answer too but I'm going to ask anyway just in case there is some unraid magic.
I have new unraid setup on old I7 comp and I'm waiting for disks. I have an old WD PR2100 NAS raid 1 (because I'm that cheap and was out of storage).
Can I repurpose the PR2100 disks into the Unraid computer without losing data? Just plug and pray them reshare for now?
I'll be adding 3 8T disks soon 2 data 1 parity in a few days.
I assume that wont work and the disks would need to be zero'ed because of how the nas would of stored the data?
What would be the fastest way to do data migration? 7T even over the Lan would be sucky slow, and tie all the devices up (family gets grumpy when plex is off line)?
Thanks for any insights, new to unraid but not IT stuff in general.
