January 30, 201313 yr At the moment I have a 2TB drive full of media, I am going to build my unraid box this weekend as I am so nervous that the disk dies and I have to re rip everything. I have a 4 bay HP N40L, the disks I have available to me at the moment are 2tb - Empty 1tb - Empty 2tb - FULL And then anything from a 250-500gig My question is this, what is the best way to build the box and keep all my data? Would the best bet be to get a new 2TB hard drive, set up a parity drive, plug in new 2tb and older 1tb then transfer data from the full 2tb drive? The final question is this, Would I need to transfer all 2tb over the network? As far as I understand I cant plug the full drive into the server as well and move the data over? Thanks for the help! DiCe!/Alex
