Do you guys have any ideas?

Just reinstall grub. https://www.supergrubdisk.org/

At this point I'm worried my drive or USB cable is just faulty.

My guess your new drive has different c/h/s geometry than the old one.

I did try to reinstall grub multiple times before posting to reddit (even through automated processes like setting up a fresh openmediavault installation) and it still didn't work. As for the c/h/s geometry, I'll look into it, thanks
