Hi i am new to the unraid community. I have seen their were an unRaid size calculator before but seems it is not working now. I have a simple question. If I am now having a 8 bays setup with 8 x 8T drives, is that i have to use one 8T drive as parity to support the other 7 drives? that means i will have 56T of available storage? Is this correct? What if i have a 16 bays setup? do i also only need 1 drive as the parity drive? This sounds unreal to me as I dont undestand why the same size of parity drive can support larger size of actual storage. How could unraid achieve this? Thank you and wish you all have a great day!

Hi Xilene, May i know why you have to flashed the LSI HBA card into IT mode? Cheers.

Hi apandey, For HBA card is there any specific card that have a better support in Unraid? Or I can just pick anyone available in Amazon? Thanks.

Hi, I have an unused PC that i wish to convert into a NAS running Unraid. I am completely new to the DIY NAS area and is wondering if Unraid can fully support my existing motherboard and CPU, which they are: Gigabyte Aorus Z590 Master Intel Core i7 10700 2 x 32GB DDR4 RAM Can Unraid recognize all the chips on the motherboard? including the onboard graphic, NIC and SATA controller? Also, I planned to run it with a 8 bay case and create a 8TB x 8 RAID 5 configuration. However the motherboard only have 6 SATA port. Is it possible for me to use an SATA expansion card to acheive what I want to do? Thanks in advance and i wish you all have a great day.
