Dual-parity keeps you protected while replacing a failed drive. Again, if MORE than two drives fail at once, all of the data on the functioning drives is still retrievable. I have lost two other RAID arrays in the past due to hardware failures and lost everything. I don’t want to ...
is the spinning up/down that Unraid is doing. Not all HDDs are created equal here - you have drives specifically designed for NAS storage, drives for CCTV footage, drives for databases, etc. I am no expert on drive design & manufacture but it seems that you do get what you pa...
You probably don’t need a cache drive. What will the use case be for this machine? A single drive can saturate gigabit networking, so if it’s just for media streaming, I wouldn’t worry about this. As far as upgrading goes, unraid is WAY easier to add more storage to then truenas...

That’s a point where I think we’ll always disagree 🙂 I’m replacing my home RAID-5 file server with a RAID-1 because it’s sufficient and less burden to maintain (i.e. 2 SSD instead of 3, connected directly to H2+ without needing any adapter). There are even a few ...
parity and are totally unusable for storage. This leaves me with two 5TB drives and single 4TB drive to store whatever I please on them. I stick to Western Digital because for me, their drives tend to last forever and the one time a drive did fail, Western Digital replaced for free. ...
users often cite Unraid as being the easier of the two to use. In the case of adding a drive, you power off the server, add the new drive, turn it back on, and it will show up under Unassigned Devices. Next, run a plugin called Preclear to prepare the drive for use, then format...
Just basic "averages" of hard drive idle power draw is around 5.5w per drive (if modern). with 10 of them (get an exact count if you want more precision), you're using 55w when idle just for your hard drives alone. so if your unRaid server is using about 100w when idle, that ...
