June 29, 201412 yr I'm relatively new at this so bear with me. I have 3 2TB WD green drives (1 3TB Enterprise class Parity Drive). In the Unmenu tab Main it says one of the HDD is at 76%. Can anybody tell me when this HDD has reached its limit as in full? Will unRaid report a full drive, than wright to the others? I have 3 2TB drives dedicated to movies, one is at 76%, 71% and the last one is at 51% I know I have room and will be switching to 3TB WD Reds when needed.

When you configure your shares there is an option for minimum free space. If you set this the same on each of your shares you will ensure that UnRAID will never try and exceed that value. As to how UnRAID will write to the drives this is determined by your allocation method (high-water, most free or fill up). The wiki should have an explanation of high water (basically it fills 50% of each drive and then rotates), and the other two are self explanatory.
June 30, 201412 yr In addition to the share level configuration of allocation method and min free space, the split level is also factor. Again these are defined per share, so one share may report disk full while another will be able to continue to write files. It is worth reading the whole section http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Un-Official_UnRAID_Manual#User_shares_2
