Reading data disks on a different computer

[walterg74]

 

Hi all,  I am moving for a while to a different country, and since my unRAID hardware is orett old anyway, I plan to just take my disks and flash and buy a new pc when I arrive at my destination. 

 

I know that rebuilding is straightforward, but since I’m not sure how long it will be until i actually get the new hardware, I wanted to know: what do I need to do/run if I want to connect one of the data disks to another computer to see and get files off it? Could I also do it with a SATA/USB adapter?

 

Thanks!

Each disk in Unraid is a free-standing file system that can be read on any Linux based system.    Reading the disks on Windows/Mac systems requires special software as those systems do not have drivers for the file systems used by Unraid,
