Add Parity disk later?

Featured Replies

So, I want to build a nas using unraid and I am in the planning phase. The Question is as follows, Can I put 2x8TB drives start adding data and when my 10TB drive empties add it as a parity drive?  

How would it work if I added a 16TB drive and a 10TB parity?  I recall reading somewhere that the 16TB would be limited to 10TB, is it still true? 

I have a 3TB, 4TB and 10TB drives with data on my pc and I am trying to figure out how to expand (>10TB) and add a parity drive without buying over a 1000 euros of HDD's...

You can add parity later. 

 

No data drive can be larger than any parity drive.

And if it does what happens? Just curious

UnRaid will not let you start an array where the drive assigned to parity is smaller than one or more data drives.
