Mounting usb drive

[jknl]

Hi forum

I recently installed Freenas on my old dell optiplex 790.
I want to use it as a media server with plex.
i already have a 3 external hdds with music and movies.
but i can find a way to mount the hdd,s without wiping them or copying the files to my main drive.

Is there a way to mount my usb drives to freenas?

Always your first stop should be the documentation...

http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#import-disk

Freenas is not going to be a good fit for your hardware.

hi pirateghost

I did read the documentation, but importing a disk is not an option because i have 7 TB of content and my main drive in my server is 1TB.
But if mounting hdd,s is not possible with freenas it might not be the software i am looking for.

If you read the documentation then you would know what the limits are....

I don't think Freenas is what you need. Just stick to windows or a linux install of some kind.
