Willing to part out the HDDs? Interested in the 8TB Red.

I will definitely do this when I set up my machine after my trial expires. I have two 8TB drives on their way, and I'll be buying a Define R5 some time next month.

That "dumbs" it down for me quite well, thank you. So regardless of the size of the disks in the array, as long as I have a parity disk that is as big as the largest disk (8TB in my case), I should have a low chance of losing any data? I understand a data drive and the parity drive can fail before I realize and I should also have another backup, but as long as I have a parity drive, I should worry less about data loss? And 2 parity isn't a duplicate of the same drive, but instead a different calculation to protect from multiple simultaneous drive failures?

Hi all, loving the trial so far - learning a lot and having a good time doing it. Apologize for any incorrect terminology in my post. In my current HTPC, I have a 120GB SSD for Windows, three 3TB WD Reds (two 95% full, one 70% full), and one 4TB WD Red (25% full). These Reds are all media drives, no backups, no RAID - spooky. I just picked up some 8TB Easystores, so that adds to my available space, but I'm not apposed to selling the smaller Reds if they aren't necessary anymore. My question is about what I should do with my current drives. I have ~9TB of media currently, and a total of 29TB of raw storage. What is a good setup to start, keeping in mind I have the following: 3x 3TB 1x 4TB 2x 8TB Also, I definitely skipped past a lot of the talk about parity like a dummy, as I wrongly assumed I could just add parity drives and it would just put my data on it like a 1for1 backup like RAID1. So, knowing that is wrong now and reading through some of the wiki, is there a simple man's explanation for how a parity or two parity drives work in the unRAID system? Thanks.

I was confused because I have another instance of Radarr running on a different computer and I didn't want them to conflict (even though they were running on two different computers....don't try unRAID out for the first time at 2am - whoops!). Following your instructions, I deleted Radarr, changed the appdata share for a minute so that I could see it in Windows, and deleted the Radarr folder. After reinstalling, Radarr had the same issue so I did the same steps but restarted the array after uninstalling Radarr and it worked! Thanks for your help and instruction.

Hi all, New to unRAID and was fiddling around with it a bit today and had Radarr working but now it is 100% unreachable. I had it working with Jackett and Deluge, and downloaded a test file to see how it would work and everything was perfect. Then I went to open the WebUI just now and Google Chrome is giving me the "This site can’t be reached, 192.168.0.69 refused to connect." Because it was just a new install and I didn't feel like troubleshooting I reinstalled it and the same thing is happening. Deluge and Jackett are working fine from linuxserver.io and the logs for Radarr don't show any errors or warnings, so I'm a bit stumped here. Let me know if you need any more of my information to help troubleshoot. Thanks! radarrlog.txt
