January 6, 20251 yr Hello everyone, I’m planning to equip my NUC with two M.2 SSDs (1TB + 2TB) using Unraid. I already have a suitable USB stick for Unraid. My question, however, is whether I can use the two SSDs as separate storage devices (without parity, without a pool, without any RAID-like setup)? I’d like the SSDs to simply be available as two independent storage drives that I can use for Docker containers and so on. Is that possible? If so, how should I set it up? I’d try to handle system backups with Unraid using my separate NAS. regards mike
January 6, 20251 yr Community Expert You can using the Unassigned Devices plugin. However, not sure why you do not want to set them up as two separate single device pools which means they can (optionally) be part of User Shares whereas if handled via UD this is not possible, Normally it is removable drives you want to be handled via UD.
January 6, 20251 yr Author Hello and thank you for your feedback. I’m still very new to Unraid and didn’t know that this option exists. Does this mean that if I set up the SSDs as two separate single-device pools, I would have the same scenario?
