Elbows Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi, I've been running happily running unraid for over four years to host two Windows 10 gaming PCs. Performance is excellent and now that I'm running the VMs 100% on NVME I find that I don't use the array (2 * 5TB HDDs) at all. Any additional storage for the VMs is mapped to my NAS. I'd like to repurpose the HDDs elsewhere so is it possible to build and run an Unraid VM host without an array? I'm currently running ver 6.9.0-beta 30. Disc setup below. Thanks for any advice. 1 Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 You DO have to have at least 1 drive in the array. However if you never intend to store anything on it you could just use a small flash drive to satisfy this requirement. Quote Link to comment
Elbows Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 OK, thanks for clarifying. I think I'll add a feature request 🙂 Quote Link to comment

ChatNoir Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 On the other end, not everyone have a Pro licence and a useless usb drive just to make unraid happy does limit the number of effective drives. Quote Link to comment
