Thanks for the info. Parity rebuild times are not a problem. This is a backup server and not front-line production, so if it is slow for a week during parity rebuilds, I'm fine with that.

If that is successful, then I can start to migrate out the existing dri

Hi guys, long time UnRaid user here (must be over a decade by now). I have two Unraid servers - one active NAS and a backup server. My backup server has about 52TB in it, and it is mainly using 12TB + 8TB drives.
