January 26, 20233 yr Was just listening to LMG, he mentioned of a new Nas project being created by former unraid staffs in framework. I don't know how true it is, but he mentioned those staffs were mainly responsible for modernization of unraid. Pretty much everything I like about unraid over other Nas products. Any thoughts / info on what he's referring? Tried searching online but couldn't find much info....

Back in December in the linked below video Linus has mentioned his decision to invest $250K of his own money into a new "user-friendly" NAS software that is based on an existing product. Are we talking of the same clip or do you have a more recent announcement? He hasn't mentioned any names at that time but it's been pretty much assumed that the project is being worked by former Unraid employees. Edited January 27, 20233 yr by Lolight

Here is the video where he confirms the investment is being developed by two former employees. I thought it was framework, but that was misunderstanding. It sounds like a new company

So, it's official then (starting at 2:26:52): "...team headed by two long-time Tech veterans who recently completed an eight-year stint at Unraid..."

Yeah, the way he phrased it, it makes it sound like more modern and friendly approach to NAS solution, possibly an evolution of unraid without the need of historical compatibilities. Looks to be quiet interesting if that's the case
January 31, 20233 yr Sounds like it'll be a more direct competitor to the QNAPs/Synologys out there. Interesting times. unRAID is amazing in its flexibility, but (I think) it's lacking in the polish department. Things like downsizing or removing disks from the array, rebuilds (without having to remove parity first), a native backup solution, and general system monitoring, to name a few. It will be interesting to see where the focus is for this new product, and to see how they handle the more complicated stuff (if at all) that unRAID offers. Edited January 31, 20233 yr by -Daedalus
