November 24, 20223 yr I have an external drive plugged into my unraid server. How do i get my server to see the usb external drive? Then, how do I get the external drive to download into the unraid server folders for my Plex? Is there a video on this. I can't find one, but I'll keep looking. Thanks.

I see two main options : connect the external drive to a computer and do the transfer over the network. connect the drive to Unraid and mount it using the Unassigned devices plugin. If you are using Unraid 6.10+, you can then use the Dynamix File Manager plugin to copy the files.
November 24, 20223 yr Author I ended up using the external drive to a computer and did the transfer over the network. I tried the unassigned devices plugin but it was going to be even slower than the previous option. No one, mentioned the Dynamix File Manager, just Krusader. So, I have around 8TB file going right now, and it has been running since 9 last night. It has run 12 hours, and says it has another 16 hours left. It has been averaging around 75-80MB/s. The direct connect was even slower. Well, it is what it is. Thanks.
