December 18, 20178 yr Looking for confirmation that Unraid has no limit on Hard Drive Size it can run - Looking at replacing my 4tb Parity with a 6tb
December 18, 20178 yr I have seen disks up to 12T used with unRAID. 6T is very very common and you are no where near a limit. There are no known limits until you get into huge sizes (well above 1000T), which do not exist and probably won't for a very very long time. At those huge sizes, max filesystem sizes start to be exceeded. We are no where near having drives that big (and if we did, we'd be looking at years to preclear or run parity builds / checks). Maybe something our grandkids will have to deal with running unRAID v250 ;).

Maybe something our grandkids will have to deal with running unRAID v250 ;). It wouldn't be fully that bad. Old 40 MB (as in Mega-byte) drives took about 40-min to a bit over an hour to read or write end-to-end. So it isn't just the HDD sizes that increases with time - the transfer rates are also improving.
