itzmillertyme Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Hi I have Unraid drives with my media on them I need to read these drives to copy my media to my 2010 Mac Pro 5.1 internal drives as I will be using it as my server for Plex . I don't have use of my Unraid server now and only have Mac OS the drives and an external docking station.Any help welcomed. Thanks Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 What format did you use for the Unraid drives? Each drive in Unraid is a free-standing file system, so if you have appropriate drivers on the Mac they can then easily be mounted and read. Quote Link to comment

Not tried them myself but I have used the Paragon drivers on Windows to read xfs formatted drives, although it looks like there are other free options now available for use on macOS. The other option I see mentioned is to run up a Linux VM under macOS as Linux has built-in support for xfs. Quote Link to comment
itzmillertyme Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Actually used Kubuntu (installed on an old htpc) to copy to my new drive that was formatted in ext4 then put new drive in my Mac Pro 5.1 Plex recognized it and all my media. Quote Link to comment
