Hi, so I'm very new to freenas, I decided to play around with an old PC I had and make it a Home NAS PC. Got Freenas installed and I setup a Plex on it with a 120GB SSD boot drive and a (VERY old) 1.5TB WD Desktop HDD. The 1.5TB drive is almost full up and I'm concerned because of its age it might fail soon, is currently perfectly healthy though!
Anyways I have bought an 8tb Ironwolf to move all the data to but not sure exactly what the best way to do it is. There are no RAIDs setup yet (not really anything important so it's not the end of the world if data gets lost). Just got 1 pool setup for media and thats it.
So yeah, what's the best method for me moving this data across so I dont need the 1.5TB anymore. (Also would like to keep all the plex settings and metadata if thats at risk of being lost in the process).
Thanks.
