tomahawkeer Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hello guys, my first post here, so please don't hate me too much for this question. I am about to buy a license, probably the Tier 1 or Tier 2, and I just wanted to verify that a parity drive DOES use one of those attached storage devices, AND that the CACHE drive does NOT. Is this correct? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 No. All attached storage devices (except the flash drive used for booting Unraid) count (even if not being used by Unraid). 1 Quote Link to comment
tomahawkeer Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Ok wow, I need to read more of the documentation. Don't know why I didn't think the cache wasn't counted. I have been messing around with freenas for a couple of months, and its a great project and all, but for my needs, I think unraid probably works better. I just need some simple NAS storage and the ability to run plex and possibly a few other things via the NAS. Ill download the trial, and give it a whirl once I move my hardware to my new case. Regardless, thanks for the answer! 1 Quote Link to comment
