Quick question, in dual parity, do the drives have to be the same size? I know they have to be bigger than my data drives.

 

I have 5tb max data drive size and 1 8tb parity drive. Can I add a 6tb parity drive?

 

Thanks

Yes.

Thank you! That just saved me a nice chunk of cash.

Just for reference this is mentioned here in the online documentation that can be accessed via the “Manual’ link at the bottom of the UnRaid GUI.
