Migrating A Plex Library To WD My Cloud

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

I’m currently using Plex on a MacBook Pro and my library is stored on an 4TB external drive (WD My Passport). Lately the external has been beeping, a sign of imminent failure, so I’ve been looking into options that are more secure and last longer.

At this point I’m considering a NAS (WD My Cloud) as my new server- I would migrate my library there. The question is if I do make that shift and rename the My Cloud Drive with the same name as the Passport, will I be able to keep my metadata, posters and thumbnails?

Any help or personal anecdotes would be immensely appreciated. Got to make sure I have my bases covered before I take the plunge…

Hey you’re getting the beep, huh? Oh man. Well start with the Plex article on
How To Migrate Plex Media Server because you asked to preserve your library
and your metadata.

Let us know how it goes.
