Sounds like you are looking for a RAID case - and time to keep it up
and running. I would see it as an opportunity to try out ZFS
https://openzfs.org/wiki/Main_Page
zfs is ideally suited to working on a bunch of "about to fail" drives
- and it might be the easiest at replacing drive while not riski
How many drives are you talking about using. If you have a bunch of
them, like 6 to 9 drivers, you could combine them into
2 or 3 groups of roughly equal size and then make a each chunk a RAID 0
and then RAID those chunks up with either RAID1 or RAID5/6 depending on
how much redundancy you want
Weird question:
I can get a bunch of ancient (~2013) HDDs. Each have varying amounts of space,
and few (if any) are ever the same size.
These were marked to be disposed, though that is just because of age or having
plenty that are better. Thus I can take them. However, them being this old, and
