Mount NTFS drive to transfer data

[rtech73]

In my old server (Windows 10) I have an SSD that is specifically for the metadata for PLEX.   It's several hundred gigabytes (of VERY tiny files, as you may know).   Is it at ALL possible to MOUNT an NTFS drive in unRAID?   Even if just to transfer the data internally (instead of over the network, as I'm doing with the rest of my TBs of data) from one server to another, as I assume having unRAID LIVE with an NTFS drive would not be great.

 

Ultimately, I'd like to have this data end up back on this SSD drive as it's primary home, but as part of the array (in that it's duplicated).   

 

Of all the data I'm moving to the new unRAID server, this folder of PLEX metadata makes me the most nervous (It's got TONS of custom data and user watch data and the like, and given the millions of tiny files, I've had trouble copying this stuff before).    Would making a ZIP file first work?   Is there a ZIP equivalent on unRAID?

You can easily mount a NTFS formatted drive on an Unraid server using the Unassigned Devices plugin.    UD can also (optionally) share the drive over the network.

Got it installed!   I see the new tab on the Main screen.   This should do what I want!   Any reason to doubt it's reliability?

 

Thanks!

Is there a preferred way to simply manipulate data on the shares/drives directly?   For example, do something like what "SyncToy" used to do to look at say, the data in a mounted NTFS drive, and to a file copy/sync to a share?
