February 21, 20242 yr Hi there, I would like to create a 4x20TB pool without any RAID or redundancy. Should I use BTRFS or XFS instead? Now its running if BTRFS but I read so many negative aspects of it. The Pool will be used for media files like movies or sound files. No Backup needed. Thanks, woko
February 21, 20242 yr Community Expert Xfs does not support multiple devices, you can use btrfs or zfs, both are fine for raid0, but of the two I would use zfs.
February 21, 20242 yr Author I read so much "bad things" about btrfs - but in my case, a raid0 pool should not be a problem with btrfs?
February 21, 20242 yr Community Expert If you are using HDD, you could just have the Unraid array with no parity. XFS would be good like that and has the usual Unraid array benefit of independent filesystems with mixed disk sizes .

And I wont touch the Array. I am talking about a 4*20TB pool just for media files without parity
