Does anyone know of a NAS that might only use like, a pair or trio of 2.5" drives? Trying to fit everything into a 4-inch-wide wallbox is harder than I thought it would be.

this thing'll turn a raspberry pi into a 4 drive NAS and it'll probably fit in your wallbox - the case is pretty cool, too.

Speaking of - I've read a lot of mixed opinions on keeping drives spun up vs. letting them sleep. Is there a general time guideline for how often a drive is accessed that makes it better to leave spun up? Some people have said with modern drives the spin up doesn't wear that much so old arguments about spin ups drastically reducing life of a drive are outdated.

Is there a consensus here about that?

I'm not sure this is the place to ask this, but I didn't see a Plex thread in the first couple pages, and I'm doing this on an unraid server so it is kinda relevant: I'm going to put together a plex server, but I never realized how messy all my media is. Is there a tool that assists in the mass renaming of hundreds (or thousands?) of videos? I don't mind having to be present to help the tool pick the right thing - just anything faster than me manually renaming everything and moving them into properly named folders as appropriate.
