Yes I had read that. That's quite a game changer compared to Synology JBOD. But thank you for your advice.

Thanks for everything, everyone. Thats clearer

Thank you for your recommendation. So the best would be to use the Array. From my understanding the main inconvenient of using the array is that it is slow for writing, right? knowing that I would keep writing (torrent), is that low writing speed acceptable? it would be ok for reading though I guess? and for such setup, do you think one parity drive is enough? data is not critical as it can always be downloaded again The array is more flexible; the pool is faster. I would choose according to your priorities. Flexibility is great, as long as speed is sufficient.

I have an Unraid setup with 1 array with 2 x 12 TB disks (one parity) I will be migrating soon all my TV Series / Movies / Music... from a Synology NAS where the data is stored on 2 x 20 TB disks in RAID 1. Lets say I would have 3 x 20TB drives to put on my Unraid for this and would like to have the capability to expand it, how would you recommend to set it up? creating a Pool or adding them to my array? (if I add them to the array I would have to change and rebuild the parity drive I suppose) how to setup some kind of RAID 3 or 4? is there some flexibility in terms of drive size?

I installed unraid on my NAS, setup an array with my 2 disks and now would like to install docker apps but it seems there is no appdata shared configured while there should be one (and globally no shares are configured. Any idea what is wrong and how to fix it? Which other shares are missing? Please find enclosed my diagnostics. silverstone-diagnostics-20250414-1124.zip
