January 18Jan 18 I have a very nice home build NAS but it’s very power hungry. Considering buying a bespoke NAS like Ugreen or Terramaster which run Unraid.I’ve read that it’s as simple as fitting my drives in the new NAS and plugging the USB flash drive in the appropriate port. Is it really as simple as that ? Just FYI I have everything backed up just in case 😀

Unraid runs on just about any hardware. It does not support ARM processors, but it runs without issue on most Intel or AMD based hardware. The Unraid license is tied to the GUID of the USB flash device which also holds the OS files (loaded into RAM on each boot) and the Unraid server configuration. This makes Unraid "portable" if you make hardware changes. I have personally changed motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc. five times on my main server while still using the same USB flash drive to boot Unraid. Edited January 18Jan 18 by Hoopster
