Hmm, interesting point there pwm, that may not be a bad idea. I could drastically reduce the price of my Google drive costs, use this as an offline backup. I'm going to research this

I am currently using an older Drobo FS storage box with three 3TB drives. I want to keep the data on them, but I also want to move it to a new DIY box that I am building now with unRAID. I am thinking of getting an 8TH Parity drive, but how should I handle moving those older drives and data over? Out of the 9TB there, some of it is protected, and I have about 4TB of actual data on those. I'm going thru the guides now but it's not 100% clear to me. I of course don't want to screw this up and lose the data, while having the ultimate outcome of still using those drives. Thanks!

All, is it possible to map a folder to my Google Photos storage? Maybe I'll have the photos from all of my mobile devices point to the Plex download folder, but I'd like the option of still using Google for it's search and other capabilities. So is it possible to map a folder in unRAID or Plex? Is this more of a Plex config?

Ah, that was the big part that I was missing, I was not connecting on the parity disk part. Thanks all!

I think I'm just missing seeing this info in the GUIDE sections and other places. Can someone point me to a place where it provides guidance on which direction to go for file format such as ZFS, XFS, etc. Many thanks in advance!

Hi all, perhaps I am not finding it in the right spot, so I just wanted to ask a basic question. One does not have to use same-size HDs for unRAID configs, right? I have three 3TB drives now, and was looking to add a 6TB one, just want to make sure that I can do this.
