if the PCIe card has died, it may have taken out other components on the motherboard that may be causing the issue you are seeing. new motherboard?

If I want to watch some media, I just navigate into the read only share using windows explorer into the folder structure I setup and open with MPC.... what is the advantage of plex if I know what i'm going to watch anyway? using it away from home when at work? I'd rather just go out to the bars / restaurants than watch 480p episodes of south park from 1998 in my hotel room...? or is that the use only case?

Due to power usage issues using parity drives I have changed my setup to have two unraid servers as a "live" and a "cold storage" backup. I like this approach better as it protects from ransomware/hardware/lightning failures, etc over 2x parity drives In order to sync my data I have been using winmerge in Windows and a manual approach to sync the data. This works well as there is only a few folders that change in a week. I have looked at luckybackup but it always creates a new folder structure where all the data is preexisting. Is there a better solution to what I'm doing?
