Old hard drive data consolidation
Old hard drive data consolidation
Over the last 20 years I have amassed a big pile of drives and would like to store and catalog any user data so I can comfortably destroy the physical drives. I’d like to remove os files but keep the file structure, users folders (probably sanitized of appdata, etc). Is there anything out there that does anything along these lines or do I need to start building one?

So a nas with tons of storage, high speed nic to a desktop, and a dock to attach the old drives for review. From there, it's just a matter of sorting through files and dumping them on the nas. Personally, I'd do it with a Linux PC to avoid pesky windows permissions.
