Hi everyone, I'm really enjoying Unraid and already have the Pro license to create my new NAS, currently I'm testing Unraid on my vmware workstation before I migrate my pc to Unraid. Here is my dilemma, my goal is have this six SSDs as one drive (due to many VMs) and maybe use this 12TB HDD as daily backup of my SSD drives. I have some ideas how to accomplish that but I really would some some guidance and help from more experienced users, here are my ideas: 1 - Use AMD software RAID 0 with 6 SSDs, on Unraid add 12TB Raid 0 SSDs and 12TB HDD, find a solution for a daily backup from SSDs data disk RAID 0 to data disk 12TB HDD. (maybe the easiest?) 2 - Add the six SSDs with one for parity on the Array, find a solution to automatically spilt in some size (ex: 200GB) the vdisk of the VMs and span the files through the disks. (seems almost impossible) 3 - Use btrfs raid 5 with the six SSDs and 12TB HDD as data disks, also find a solution for a daily backup from SSDs data disk RAID 5 to data disk 12TB HDD. (seems impossible) 4 - Buy a hardware controller to perform the RAID 5 with the six SSD, add as data disk and again find a solution for a daily backup from SSDs data disk RAID 5 to data disk 12TB HDD. (expensive one, but feasible?) Please if you have other idea/solution please let me know, I'm not experienced in storage/backup. My hardware: Ryzen 5900X Asus X570 TUF 6XSSD 1x12TB HDD 64GB RAM Thanks for any insights!
