Thank you! I managed to boot from one of the problematic USB keys. In case someone else is facing similar issues my solution was: - Format the USB stick with Rufus - as Suggested by @JonathanM (I used the settings shown in the attached screenshot) - I took backup of my current, working USB drive (Using the Unraid WebUI: Main -> Flash -> Flash backup) - I copied the files from the backup zip file onto the new drive without overwriting anything on the new drive (there were some file generated by Rufus after the format) Thanks again for the help!

I'm trying with UEFI. The old USB key boots in UEFI. The new ones can't, neither in UEFI or in legacy. I forgot the mention the old drive is 16Gb the new ones are 32Gb.

Hi All, I installed Unraid on an older USB to try it out. It works great and I'm planning to buy a license so I purchased a new USB stick for it (2 actually). My problem is that my HP Microserver Gen8 (with latest BIOS) simply won't boot Unraid using these new drives. Interestingly when I install anything other than Unraid (e.g. Ventoy) on these drives I can boot without an issue. Is there anything I can change on the USB drives so I can boot Unraid? (The BIOS has very limited USB settings and I've tried all of them without any luck) Thanks!

Yes, the intention is to use the 3rd HDD to backup the array (first 2 HDD). After reading your replies my plan for the longer term is to move the 3rd HDD to another box (which is in another physical location) and continue to rsync data to it via SSH. Thank you all for the help to me get started with Unraid!

Hi All, I'm trying out Unraid for the very first time and I'd like to ask for some advice. The HW is a HP Microserver Gen8 with 3x3TB HDD and 1x250 SSD. The setup I had in mind: 2 HDD in array (1 data and 1 parity - but if I understand correctly this will be a mirror in reality) 1 SSD in a separate pool for docker 1 HDD in another separate pool for backup. I'd like to rsync data onto this drive from the others. How feasible is this setup in Unraid? Does it make sense to do this way or are there better solutions/suggestions? Thanks!
