January 29, 20215 yr Hi everyone, I'm new to both UnRaid and the NAS world. I made my own home NAS (with a Asrock J4105B-ITX Gemini Lake and with 8Gb memory), to store files and manage a media center with Plex. I currently have a 3TB (wd black) HD formatted in EXT4, full of video and music and today I bought a 4TB Seagate Ironwolf HD. I downloaded the trial version of UnRaid, which I am testing with two other HDs, just to do tests before the final assembly of the NAS (with the two 3tb and 4tb HDs). If I understand correctly I must use the 4TB HD both as parity and as disk1 and the other HD only as disk2, it is right? But how can I not lose the files that are in the 3TB HD? I am forced to format the HD, to be able to use it with UnRaid Hi and thank you very much for your help

You can't use a disk as both parity and as disk1. No disk can be assigned to more than one slot. I think this isn't what you mean but I don't know what you do mean. How many of which size disks do you plan to have in your new Unraid server? 20 minutes ago, Lilloguia said: how can I not lose the files that are in the 3TB HD? I am forced to format the HD, to be able to use it with UnRaid Unraid doesn't support ext4 in the array or cache. You can use the Unassigned Devices plugin to let you access files on that disk and copy them to the array then you can reuse that disk.
