If I were to get a NAS could I just pop the hard drives from my Windows PC into the NAS and would it recognize all the content? Or would I have to format the drives? I'm not too familiar with NAS technology.
It depends on how you set it up. NAS Boxes can be configured in many ways. For what you're looking for, you can get a NAS box, and configure it to be JBOD(Just A Bunch Of Drives.) It's a real format no BS lol. If you wanted any sort of data security, then you can use RAID setup on a NAS Box, however the drives would have to be formatted.
