I am probably the least network oriented Linux person ever. I could use an
e-SATA port instead of a USB2 port. Would that help? Amazon have e-SATA
drive enclosures but don't seem to want to sell drives already in
enclosures. I've had issues with drive enclosures failing so am a bit wary
of them.

Fortunately, because of lockdown, I do have some time on my hands :)

I am approaching this project slowly so as to reduce as much disruption as
possible.

Thanks,


Ian
