mattiash Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I got 4, 2 TB disks and two SSDs 128 and 256 Gb. I have room for one more disk, parity is my thought, but how big? Is 2 Tb enough? Is there a way to change unraid to use all disks instead of me poiting to what disk to use? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The parity disk must be as large as any other disk in the system -- so a 2TB drive would be okay for the drives you have; but then you'd be limited to 2TB drives as you add more, so you may want to use a larger parity disk to give you the flexibility of adding larger drives and/or replacing your current drives with larger drives as your needs grow. Read about "user shares" => these let you define a "share" that will automatically use all of your disks with no intervention on your part -- you just write to the share, and UnRAID will decide where to put the actual data, based on the allocation method and split levels you have set (you can just use the defaults with no problem).
