Tracy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I have heard good stuff about unraid. I currently run Plex from my Dell R710 server in IT mode using a LSI controller card and Windows 10 . I was wondering what advantages that Unraid would give me over using a standard raid controller in a raid 1-0 configuration. Im fixing to use a newly acquired Dell R510 w/H200, X5670 processors, 128Gb ram, and 8 10Tb hds. I will also be using a Quadro P400 for transcoding. I was trying to get a good idea of what UnRaid offered before I spend the 80 dollars. thx, Tracy Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Unraid allows different sized disks in the array. If you need more capacity later, you can just replace one disk with a larger disk as needed. 1 Quote Link to comment

Don't spend any money until you are sure Unraid is right for you. The trial period version is free and unrestricted except for requiring an internet connection to validate the trial. 1 Quote Link to comment

I did see that it has a 30 day plus two 15 day trials. I think Im gonna give it a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment
