  1. emrepolat7's post in Unraid with Hardware Raid 5 was marked as the answer   
    Hi Guys;
    I am playing with unraid for last two days. I really enjoyed it and have some questions. First let me tell you about my setup.
    •    HPE ML110 Gen10 4208
    •    HPE Smart Array P408i-p SR Gen10 
    •    64 GB Ram
    •    3 x 4TB SATA HD
    With using HPE Smart Storage, I have created raid 5 logical storage drive. I installed unraid trial version. Unraid detected my hard drive as one 8TB logical drive. I have zero problems with installing vm (macos, windows, linux)  docker, apps vs so on. 
    My questions are;
    1) With this setup I do not have any Parity disk. Is this going to be a problem? Since I have a hardware raid 5, I believe all my data should be fine against any hard disk failure.
    2) In the future, I believe I can add more disk to my Raid 5 Storage. Is it so?
    3) is there any things that I should be careful about this setup?
    Any recommendation are welcomes...
