emod Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 This should be pretty obvious but I cannot figure it out. Given that all my data amounts to 6TB, and that the data must be mirrored, meaning each file has two copies, what should the MINIMUM sizes of my HDDs be? HDD 0 (parity)=? HDD 1 (data) =? HDD 2 (data) =? Quote Link to comment

You might want to read up on how parity is handled in Unraid. the rules are simple: parity drives cannot be smaller than the largest data drive. the available data space is the sum of the space on the data drives.
