Thanks, my wording was problematic. I'm planning to use 5 disks.

Thanks, Does a Btrfs pool support single‑disk fault tolerance or any form of redundancy?

Hi all, I’m setting up Unraid for the first time and I’m currently running Unraid 7.2.4. I’d appreciate some guidance on the best configuration for an SSD-only array, with a focus on maximizing usable capacity while still having single‑disk redundancy. My available drives: 2 × SSD – 1.92 TB 2 × SSD – 1 TB 1 × SSD – 750 GB Cache drive: 1 × NVMe – 256 GB Goals / requirements: Protection against failure of a single drive Maximize usable storage capacity Relatively light usage: One or more shared folders for general file storage A few lightweight Docker containers (nothing heavy) No VMs planned at this stage Questions: What would be the recommended parity + data drive layout with mixed‑size SSDs like this? Is it better to: Use one of the 1.92 TB drives as parity and the rest as data? Or consider a different approach to get better balance/capacity? Any SSD‑specific settings or best practices I should be aware of (TRIM, cache settings, mover behavior, etc.)? Does this setup make sense long‑term, or would you recommend a different structure given my use case? This is my first Unraid build, so I’m trying to start off on the right foot 😊 Thanks in advance for any advice or real‑world experience you can share!
