I started a home music system in 2009 based on Squeezebox. I am still
VERY happy with it.
Gradually my library has expanded to approx 12 TB of mainly FLAC files.
Currently the music files are spread over six 3 TB hard drives that are
housed in an Medisonic USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure:
Medi
12 TB thats pretty bad...
..because i run a wd red 10TB Disk for small cash.
and a single drive fits proper in a single disk case. but 12 TB doesnt
fit in the 8.8TB drive labeld as 10TB.
Since your able to backup one drive after another i dont think you're
using any raid just a bunch of disks?
I would definitely look to stay ahead of your storage requirements by
buying fewer larger drives. You can get four 8tb without having to ride
the bleeding edge of price or performance and have two copies and room
to spare; then you're looking at a simple 4 bay pc like the hp
microserver or simila
As someone who also experienced data corruption issues with a
jmicron-based enclosure, I'd advise against using any type of
consumer-grade HW based solution of that kind.
If you want a (moderately) high-performance NAS, building your own is
imo the best solution (I've been using a similar setup

I'd opt for a high grade NAS (raided) to store files but keep your NUC
as the server. Its easy to mount said NAS via NFS and you won't see any
performance loss at all.

Coincidentally, I have an unused DS1815+ that I just put into service
for the first time.

No but you will be surprised to find how much you can get back when you
sell your old drives. This will be enough to take some of the pain
away... Hehe

I didnt realise your NUC was running Windows! It would be a lot faster
/ more stable if it was Linux.
Make sure your AV doesnt scan the NAS Mount

If OP doesn't need Windows, he could simply run everything (including
LMS) on the DS1815+ (which has a performance comparable to a mid-range
NUC)

Your NAS support USB file transfers, just plug the drives into it ...

I thought long and hard about all the suggestions above.
I ended up with an inertial solution.
I got the 4 bay version of the problematic hard drive enclosure for less
than 100 bucks. I tested it for hash mismatches and there were none.
I got two 8 TB drives and transferred the 12 TB or so mu
This may be controversial to the anti-RAID contingent who views audio
and video files as static data, but another option is a quality
outboard HW RAID enclosure to the server machine of your choice.
We have a similar library to the OP: rapidly approaching 15TB. We have
not just a lot of media,

Out of interest - how many albums/songs in the 12TB collection?
