Absolutely, you can use your old desktop hard drives in a small 4-bay NAS like TerraMaster and set it up in JBOD mode. This way, you can combine all the drives without the need for RAID, which is ideal for different drive types and sizes. While WD Blacks and Seagate Barracudas might not be the best choice for RAID 5 or 6 due to potential compatibility issues, they will work well in JBOD mode. With nearly 1200 DVDs and Blu-rays, you'll have plenty of media to get started with your Plex server. Enjoy your media streaming and have a wonderful day!
