The Pros and Cons of UnRAID - Should You Use It? (NASCompares)

Featured Replies

A clear and concise overview for those who are unfamiliar with Unraid.

 

Is not particularly precise with some of used terminology but not bad overall.

Hope he rectifies some of the description shortcomings in the in-depth follow up.

His 5 Pros are:

  • Resource consumption - Agree
  • ZFS Support - Who cares?  I wouldn't list this as a plus (or minus).  It's just a feature.
  • Hardware requirements - Agree
  • Parity - Agree
  • GUI - Agree

His 5 Cons are:

  • Transfer speed - Maybe
  • Learning curve - Disagree (Thanks to the GUI) although a wizard to get you started would be a nice addition.
  • ARM support - Really?
  • Single Admin - Seems like a good point but I'm on the fence.
  • Not free - Free is nice but it also means that it might not be supported very well (or at all) down the road.

He's right on the point of Unraid's learning curve as compared to say Synology.

Point noted, good to know.  I was mainly comparing unRAID to TrueNAS.
