[SOLVED] unRAID HDD size support...

[rikdegraaff]

Hi All,

 

I have a question about upgrading my unRAID server.

I have unRAID v5, and I want to replace my 3TB parity disk with a 8TB disk.

But does unRAID v5 support that size of HDD's?

 

Or does unRAID, especially v5, support any size of hard disks?

 

Thanks in advance,

Rik

Any size drive so long as the controller supports it (ie: LSI1068 controllers eg: BR10i) do not support > 2.2tb

In addition to upgrading the disks, you should seriously consider upgrading to V6. None of the people who frequently offer support on the forum are still running V5. Even if you are only interested in the NAS part of unRAID, V6 has many new features that will help you, and we will be better able to support you.

Okay, my controller supports it, 'cause I've got already 3TB disks in my array.

Okay, but I've got a paid licence, can I upgrade my v5 to v6 with using that licence or do I need to buy it again?

Superb, thank you for the support, @trurl .

I am soon going to upgrade to v6.

 

And then going to place some 8 terabyte disks.
