California is a huge military state and we are based out of a military town. I’m a veteran myself so we definitely do offer discounts and are appreciative our own mil/veteran users!

Contact support please. While we don’t discount lifetime, we do offer discounts to other licenses for military, first responders and educators.

We’ve officially launched a new Unraid Bug & Feature Tracker, and it’s now the primary place to report product bugs and feature requests! The old forum-based bug tracker is now read-only and has been retired. Why we made this changeThe forums are still the right place for discussion and troubleshooting, but they weren’t built for long-term bug tracking, prioritization, or follow-through. The new tracker gives us: Clear ownership and visible status for every bug Faster triage to the right Unraid team members Community voting to help prioritize what matters most Fewer lost or forgotten issues buried in long threads Tighter feedback loop between you and the OS devs How bugs and features are handled nowWe’ve published a detailed breakdown of the new system in our blog. Read the full announcement: https://unraid.net/blog/introducing-the-new-unraid-bug-feature-tracker You can also visually see the lifecycle of bug reports in this infographic ⬇️ Infographic_Bug_Report (1).pdf Where does Support fit in?Unraid Support is still the best place to start if you’re not sure whether something is a bug. When an issue is confirmed as a product bug, it’s tracked in the new system and updates live there going forward. This keeps support responsive while ensuring product issues are properly owned and visible. What’s nextThis portal will also become home to: Feature tracking A public-facing product roadmap More on that soon! Thanks for reading and helping us improve Unraid!

I put in a PR to remove the video. If you have links to reputable dealers, ebay storefronts or other pertinent info, please open a PR to add them! https://github.com/unraid/docs/edit/main/docs/unraid-os/system-administration/maintain-and-update/changing-the-flash-device.mdx

Here you are: https://forums.unraid.net/forum/118-boot-devices/ I will also be moving this thread to USB Flash.

I removed the video from here. AFAIK, the suggested models listed and others added from users are still valid. If you have disagree or have others to add (with links), please let me know! From what we're all seeing, manufacturers are degrading quality with, often without changing model numbers (a constantly changing target). This makes providing "official" recommendations tricky as much of the reporting or problems is anecdotal while others have no issues at all for years upon years. For this reason, we're working hard to provide alternate boot options. Thank you for the feedback.

👋 Please welcome @SimonF to the Unraid team! We’re excited to officially welcome Simon Fairweather as a Senior Software Engineer at Unraid. Simon is UK-based, living in Buckinghamshire with his wife and son, and grew up in Norfolk. His journey with computers started early—beginning with a Sinclair ZX81, then a ZX Spectrum, before moving into PCs. From there, Simon’s career evolved through CP/M systems and COBOL in the late ’80s, on to AS/400 systems, where he worked as a developer on an automation product called AOS. Over the next 30+ years, Simon worked with MSPs and outsourcing companies across networking and security, and more recently spent 4.5 years at Lotus Cars before joining the Unraid team. Simon’s Unraid journey began in April 2015, when he was looking for a way to host his DVD and Blu-ray collection using a mix of older hardware and mismatched drives. A Plex container soon followed—and Unraid quickly became his daily driver. Today, Simon runs a Windows VM on his Unraid server and became increasingly active in the forums, helping users troubleshoot and improve their setups. That involvement led to his first plugin, USB Manager, which enabled hot-plugging USB devices into VMs. From there, Simon began contributing small PRs to Unraid itself (mostly VM-related), and more and more began helping to maintain VM Manager. Today, Simon maintains and has created many popular Community Apps, including: WOL USB Manager iSCSI Target LCD Manager IPMI Tools GPU Stats Tasmota Power Monitor Network UPS Tools (NUT) …and many more! Outside of technology, Simon enjoys cars and motorsports, exploring places of interest, and going on walks with his family. Fun fact: Simon previously held a commercial pilot’s license and has logged 500+ hours of flight time ✈️ We’re incredibly excited to have Simon officially join the Unraid team after years of invaluable community contributions. Please join us in giving Simon a warm welcome!

Many of these have been implemented over the years. Can you be more specific with your comment about "lack of basic security features"? What are we missing?

Good catch. I’ll update this!
