My current setup is running on Windows with Windows Storage Spaces and I want to upgrade to UnRAID
Current setup
AMD 3950x 16 core processor
128GB RAM
5x 2TB Gen 4 NVMNE (OS and Virtual Machines)
16X 14TB NAS HDDs in 4 arrays without parity with 4 drives each (storage)
5x 4TB SSD in single array (fast access Storage and Cache)
AMD 7950 GPU
2X LSI 16 port cards
4x 10GB Network adapter
As far as I can tell all hardware will be compatible with UnRAID.
I want to switch to UnRAID from Windows without data loss if possible. I have been unable to find a way that UnRAID could read the windows storage spaces arrrays. If I have to copy all the data off of the arrays this is going to take a significant amount of time and hardware. Is there any way to read and convert the arrays to unRAID?
I am planning on purchasing a JBOD box to connect to the box with additional drives but I am not ready to do that just yet. Is the only way I am going to be able to do this is to connect that to another server, copy the data there and then setup UnRAID and move the data back?
Any help is appreciated. I am not familiar with UnRAID. I work on Windows and Linux but have never setup UnRAID and have been unable to find out if there is a way to do this from searching
