Ya seems to be working at least so thats what matters. Thanks again for all the help
Now I just have to spend the next 90+ hours transferring all my stuff back lol
Do it the easy way… 10 GbE 
lol
(Syno → QNAP full transfer of 50TB takes about 48 hrs using LACP from the Syno. 460MB/sec transfer)
right now the way im doing it is transferring it from my windows machine to my linux server via shared folders.
Recommendation? Plug in a USB into the Linux box if you have a spare and you’ll get USB3 speed versus the Gigabit limit.
like usb from windows computer to linux box?
Yes.
In the same way you mount any usb into linux. In this case, since your username is doing the copying, you needn’t worry about Plex until you set the permissions later.
In Linux, depending on distro, packagentfs-utils or ntfsprogs, IIRC, will give Linux the ability to mount and read NTFS partitions.
this computer is dual boot resulting in my fstab looking like this (which you do not need to do for temporary drives)
/dev/sda2 /win ntfs defaults,noatime 0 0
not sure if I have any straight usb cables laying around. If not I can always run up the road and get one. I am running Debian 9.8
A USB 3.0 enclosure will provide the power for the drive, the sata interface, and the cabling to plug into the machine.
You’ll read at the limit of the drive or limit of your USB bus.
Tell me if i am understanding this right…
I can keep my HDD plugged into my windows machine like it currently is now. and just plug a usb to usb cable from the back of my tower to the linux box and I can transfer it that way?
No. There are no Host- USB - Host interface protocols. It is always USB Master -> USB slave. The computer is always the Master and devices are slaves.
I’m going on the assumption your media is stored on a separate drive in/attached to your Windows machine.
If you have a desktop/machine with the drives in the floor box, you can:
- Pull it out of the Windows system box
- Put the drive into the enclosure
- Connect the USB enclosure to the Linux box
- Copy from the USB drive directly into the RAID volume
Ya I actually ment to bring an external drive box home from work on Friday to do this but forgot it.
That’s all you need then… That enclosure. It’ll do the job you want.
Time wise, which is more suited to your schedule? Wait until Monday and then start copying -or- get an enclosure you can keep at home for the big back-and-forth transfers and backups?
Just hooked up a HDD enclosuer and its about 24x faster lol
Imagine that 
lol ya I knew it would be faster just would have saved myself $50 if I remembered the one from work
Now this one is YOUR enclosure. You’ll use it. I have NO doubt. lol
OK so I have everything transferred over but when i am looking at my local server 127.0.0.1 I get there was an unexpected error loading this library. Thoughts?
I can see some of my files if i access it via my roku however it is only about a 1/3 of my files
Disregard…resolved it 
everything working ?
If so, please select the appropriate solution box to mark the thread.
Ya, I don’t know what was going on with the page not loading correctly but after a reboot it resolved it and as for the files I forgot to hit save changes earlier today after selecting the option to scan the library when changes were detected.
