March 31, 20224 yr Hello everyone! I setup my UNRAID for personal use, i have multiple data from old HDD's that i want to move to my UNRAID, but my main file storage is MUSIC and Vídeos. So, i have many files that i dont want to loose like personal pictures from my ages, so i ask: What is the best settings for Shares, its better i setting up just one share like: STORAGE and move all my data inside this share or its best i did as many shares i need for my data? + its better setting Allocation Method most free or high water on that share (or on all shares) ? + the split level what is the best option for my scenario? I ask this causes on the most free method my files get all disks avaliable on the array, and for example if a disk fail's or burn down i just loose the data on that disk, on high water the data its not distributed equal on all disks... Actually i have just one parity disk, i will add one more further for data safety, Sorry for many questions, but i want to be shure that i did the best settings, once i migrate my data to my UNRAID i cant go back, once done, is done Thanks in advance!!!

There are many ways to lose data, drive failure is only one. You must keep a second (or third) copy on physically separate media.
