Connecting NAS WD PR4100 to another to expand storage

[wniels]

OK, here is my situation. I have a 32TB WD PR4100 that I use exclusivly for my Plex media Server and I am down to 1TB remaining space. I would like to add another 32TB of storage for future growth. I am now over my head??
Can I connect another NAS via USB wothout creating a seperate drive?
If I can connect anopther NAS that will only act as storage, not a server… what is the least expensive reliable option for that?
And if all the above are true or kinda true… can someone tell me where to look for laymen configuration of my new extended server?

Thanks in advance to all the experts here who I know will get me set up with the best possible solution.

Regards,

Connecting my new PR4100 with existing EX4100 to use with Plex

Let’s assume you have a ‘movie’ share on the EX4100 with IP address 192.168.0.100 and you want to NFS mount it on the PR4100. In the EX4100 web UI, in the shares tab, enable NFS for the movie share. Eventually configure it to be writeable if you need it… but best to leave it off when you don’t need it. Then ssh into the PR4100. Create a mount point for the movie share, e.g. ex_movie mkdir -p /mnt/ex_movie Now mount the movie share on this mount point. Any NFS exported shares are available a…
