Hi all, new to Unraid and staring out with a mix of and and new components. I took the advice to get the largest parity disk you can in order to support future larger drives. I ended up purchasing a refurb Seagate Exos 14tb drive. Now my current drives from my older TrueNas system are only 4tb. At some point in time I will upgrade to larger data drives, but is it the case now that I am leaving the 10/14 tb on the Exos unused?
My current setup in TrueNas is a three 4tb drive raid5 ZFS. Would it make more sense to import that Pool in and just use the 14tb drive as an unprotected data drive. I have to admit to having some difficulty rejiggering my brain from “raid” to “unraid” concepts.
also planning a two 1tb NVMe drives mirrored for a cache. Although I open to suggestions there.
TIA
