Hi people, wondering, can I simply remove windows striped dynamic disks from my pc (physically?) and store them somewhere?
the situation, I have 6 10terrabyte drives in windows raid. dynamic discs striped volumes I want to store in my wardrobe. mostly movies, pictures, ROMs, games, etc. things I've spent the last 20 yrs collecting kinda thing. I no longer need these connected 24/7 and have bought hdd protective cases so I can just store them safely. maybe one day once mechanical hard drives get 60 tbs large or SSDs to become super large and affordable it'll all go back on or maybe it won't. who knows right? Maybe cloud storage becomes super large and affordable one day.
I might move them out of my computer into a nas connected to an Nvidia shield pro 2019 running plex. I really haven't decided.
So that's the issue,

So that's the issue,
- are they safe to disconnect and reconnect at later dates?
- because they're windows raids, are they safe to transfer to a qnap or synology or something?
