So far I have 1 Disk pool, with the 4 "new" disks in it. 4, 2tb 3.5" HDD's, 3 active, 1 parity, 6tb available. I believe they're fully set up, full windows share access, and I have a few Docker's running on them (NextCloud-AIO-Master-Container mostly working, Jellyfin mostly working, Nginx Proxy struggling, DuckDNS working, Cloudflared Tunnel working). I have Tailscale up and running. 4 Users + admin all fully working, and able to connect properly. 4 shares for dedicated things, all appearing to work properly. Running 7.0.0. Ah, thank you for explaining that, that would be why I couldn't appear to find a way to make a second array. And only 2 Parity, so if more than 2 drives die at once, I lose everything from any drives more than that, is that correct? Or would I lose all 3, if 3 died? For noob sake (I'm sorry), what exactly are you meaning by Multiple Multidisk Pools? Good, nice to know, thank you. I've been using Spaceinvaderone quite a bit, and it's helped a lot, but there are still a lot of things I'm trying to figure out. So thank you so much for trying to help me! From what I'm understanding of what you're saying. There's only 1 array. But you can have multiple sets of disks within the array, and they all show up as 1 "mass" in user shares. Do these pools act independently, or all together as one? If they're independent, is there a way to automate data transfers between them based on last data access time? Since there's only 1 array, there's only 2 drives maximum, across all pools, that act as parity. Is that correct? I haven't tried adding any of my "older" disks yet, as I need to ensure none of them have any useful information on them first, so have been unable to test these features myself yet. Once again, thank you so much!

Hello everyone! I'm very new to using UnRAID, it's been amazing so far, but I have quite an odd question. I plan on having 2 arrays on the same machine, mainly due to very different disk ages. I'd like to set it up so that any new data being presented to the server, is put onto one array, but after an amount of time being unused (Eg, 30 days), then it gets migrated to the second array. I'd also like to be able to have both of these arrays show as 1 bulk storage amount if possible. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. The main reason is just because I have a few newer, higher volume disks, that I'd rather keep at low uptime where possible (The "deep storage"), and a whole bunch of older, smaller disks, that I'm more worried about dying, and so happier using more of them as parity (The "active storage"), as I don't want to waste as many of my larger disks on parity. My combined Larger disk space, is bigger than my combined smaller disk space. (4 new large disks (3 active, 1 parity), 9 old small disks (6 active, 3 parity).) And is it okay to mix 3.5" and 2.5" HDD's in the same array? And what about HDD's and SSD's in the same array? Because I've got some spare SSD's sitting around currently to make into Cache, but I'm curious could they be made into an even more active array? So then there's 3 levels, a 7 day storage, 30 day storage, and deep storage? (Day numbers only by example) I've also got a question regarding NextCloud, but I don't know if that would be better for this forum, or a NextCloud Forum. If it's okay here, let me know! Thanks for reading guys, and thanks so much for any suggestions!
