September 13, 20232 yr I am just upgrading from a RasPi with a Disk attached to it, to something a little larger. Had an old laptop lying around , and a bunch of disks . 2 x 2TB SSD 1 x 128 GB SSD 1 x 10TB HDD Till last week , I was contemplating the Debian + SnapRAID + MergerFS method, and recently switched to Unraid instead. I need some help from you unRAID gurus to help me configure my disk array/ pool so that I can maximise the storage available, and have at least 1 layer of redundancy or backup . I personally was thinking of doing the 2 X 2TB SSD = 4 TB Hot storage. Then some way of backing that up on the 10 TB Drive + the remaining 6 TB would be some kind of a cold storage or vault . I'm not sure if this is even possible, since I can't pass partitions to unRAID. Thanks in Advance.

USB not recommended for array or pools for many reasons. If you don't intend to have parity or any multidisk pools such as cache, then some of the problems with USB connections won't matter as much.
