papnikol Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi everyone, I am the proud owner of a 20TB WD duo (2x10TB disks) but I cannot currently install them in my server for various reasons. I was wondering if anyone has tried to install the preclear plugin under WSL in windows 10. (or, maybe even on another linux distro like Debian). It would be nice to be able to preclear the disks outside the array. Thanks in advance for any input... Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Just set up a trial unraid USB. You don't need a license key to run preclear. The license allows you to start the array, which you most certainly do NOT want to do. Quote Link to comment

It's fine to use an unraid USB stick to boot your windows machine and preclear the drive. Just don't assign any drives to array slots. Quote Link to comment
