Parity on Unraid with uneven disks

[Coffeeboi]

Hi there,

I've recently bought one of these Aoostar N100 mini-PCs with the intention to use it with Unraid as a NAS for personal backups and as a Jellyfin server. I currently own a 2TB 3.5" hard drive that I want to use for parity and am considering getting a 4TB one as a main data drive, set up in a way that I have 2TB with parity enabled for "can't lose" backups, and 2TB for Jellyfin RIPs which I don't mind losing much. Can I have this kind of setup on Unraid or should I explore other solutions?

No.  
 

Unraid uses the whole drive when in the array, so only the 4TB drive could be the parity drive and no data drive can be larger than the smallest parity drive.
