Another solution would be to just buy whatever 4-bay NAS, set it up and put your media on it. Then set up Plex on the SFF, point it at the media on the NAS and serve it from there.

Only issue that might pop up will be increased power consumption and network bottlenecking.

To the people running Duplicati on a Synology NAS, does updating the system still wipe out your settings?

Two bad sectors in one of my HDDs in my 2-bay Synology appeared one day so I initiated an advance RMA. I replaced the bad HDD with the one I received from WD and it's not appearing on the list of drives, although the disk light on the front of the Synology is on. So I did it again, maybe it wasn't seated in properly but same story. Then I put in the old drive and it did appear on the list, albeit degraded.

Barring purchasing a Sharkoon disk dock for this single purpose or opening up my mITX desktop and trying to see if it's detected there, is it safe to assume this disk is DOA and I should follow up my support ticket with "new drives broke"? Will they give me any poo poo if I do that?
