dvbenthem Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Hello community, For two years now i am running Xpnology. A couple of weeks ago a came across Unraid server. When I saw it and tested it I was very impressed and i am thinking to switch to Unraid. My question is only what is the best option for doing this. The data that is currently on it is not very important (some movies and music). Can I put an Unraid bootable usb-stick in my NAS and overwrite everything? Is it possible to have a Raid5 configuration? Hope anyone can help me. Best regards, Danny Harware: CPU: INTEL Celeron J3455 Memory: 32Gb Drives: 4 x 4TB (RAID 5) 1 x 500Gb SSD(cache drive) Quote Link to comment

See here for how Parity works in Unraid: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Overview#What_is_Unraid.3F (This link is inside the Unraid manual for the latest version. If you look at the top of the page, you can get back to the entire manual.) 1 Quote Link to comment
dvbenthem Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Thanks for your replies. I will read the documentation on parity. 😀 Time to buy Unraid! Quote Link to comment
