January 15, 20242 yr Hey everyone, I apologize if this has been talked about already. If so could someone link me. Here's what I was thinking. I want the great UI/UX of unraid but I don't want to use it for storage. I want to take a play from my enterprise world and have separate storage and compute boxes. My current unraid has an array of 5 HDD's and a cache pool with 2 SSD's in a mirror to run apps/vm's. Plus a dedicated NVME for downloads to extract on. The new compute box I'm looking to do the same thing just minus the HDD's. However, I guess I have to put something for the array?
January 15, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution Currently you need at least one device assigned to the array, an old flash drive can fulfill that requirement.
January 15, 20242 yr Author Hi Jorge, True. I have a spare 2TB doing nothing. I could pop that in to get it up and running. Now that you mentioned that it reminded me of something else. That SSD can also be overflow protection in case the apps/vm cache fills up. Thx Jorge! 😁🤘
