June 23, 20233 yr I currently have a Synology NAS that is used for all my mass storage. I was looking at standing up an UNRAID server mainly to use the apps, dockers, etc features. Is there any disadvantage of using creating a pool with all SSDs? I have several that were purchased for another project that never panned out. Thanks Edited June 23, 20233 yr by JKChapman

You cannot create a btrfs pool on the main array as all drives in the array are a single self contained drive whatever format you use. If you mean a btrfs pool in addition to the main array then yes that is OK.
