niko7 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I like the fact that you can add additional drives whenever you need more storage. Would like to see more ssd support. Quote Link to comment
coffeepen Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I love how installing new hard drives is soooo easy! and I don't need to worry about where I plugged in the drives! Its so easy. Quote Link to comment
archedraft Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I like how user friendly setting up a server is and the great community.Honestly, I am having a hard time coming up with a new feature, it’s pretty fantastic just the way it is, but I would say having built in data integrity functionality would be a nice.

lamejohn Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hard to pick just one thing, but what I like most has been the stability. Despite my best efforts I still haven't managed to break my system beyond repair. I have upgraded and modified the drive pool so that none of the original disks I started with remain, but I never had to start over from scratch, which is amazing. One thing I'd love to see added would be a built-in backup utility that could automate backups to NAS / Cloud etc. Quote Link to comment
JWMutant Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Whats not to love about unraid! Would love to see a detailed breakdown on the dashboard of how much system resources the dockers and vm's are using instead of having to go to the docker tab and looking at the advanced view.

Mab Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I love the simplicity and speed of setup, I'm still amazed at how flexible everything is. In terms of additional functionality... tricky one, maybe additional raid types rather then just a parity drive or multiple raid sets. Quote Link to comment
ikkuranus Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I love how you can add new drives to the pool without a rebuild and the ease of use of everything. I'd like the ability to update all settings no matter if VMs/docker/array are active/started. Instead of disabling those options till you turn off whatever there should just be a button to restart those services and apply the new settings all at once. I also like the idea of having multiple cache pools/drives Quote Link to comment
vektor Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I really like Unraid's UI - it makes it very easy to manage my server I would like to see VM snapshots in 2020. I don't run many VMs so I back them up manually but having an automated solution would be nice! Thanks for the opportunity! Quote Link to comment
unrateable Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 VMs and Docker usage is great and smooth setting these up Would be nice to see 2FA , Yubikey integration for GUI log in and the array encryption Quote Link to comment
Ometoch Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Like a lot of people have said already, my favorite thing about Unraid is the ability to mix and match disk sizes in the array. I always kind of dreamed about having a RAID array to store my data on, but the cost of getting a bunch of matched hard drives all at once was prohibitive. Unraid allows me to get the benefits of a parity-protected array without the inconvenience involved with establishing and expanding proper RAID arrays. The biggest things I'd like to see are just a focus on greater performance where possible (like the change in 6.8 that made the performance penalty of using the array while the Mover is running less noticeable), and some means to verify data integrity against bitrot (whether that's through ZFS or something else I'm not particularly fussy about).

somecoolpc Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The one thing I love about unraid the is the ability to create VMs with hardware passthrough Would love to see a way to use native raid inside unraid for better performance of arrays! Quote Link to comment
spambacon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Unraid is great because instead of using cryptic commands on my previous Ubuntu server, which i never really understood, i can simply use the web ui and actually understand what I am doing. it would be nice, to have triple parity in the future, but for the moment I am pretty much set.

alcatraz Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Honestly I really liked the fact that Unraid was really intuitive to use and setup. Also I'd really like better VM support. For dockers Unraid works really well, but without VM features like snapshots/the ability to rollback, I'm still using Proxmox/ESXi. Quote Link to comment
dunakeyr Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 one thing you like most about Unraid: Stability, I can't tell you how much I want to switch my work computer over to Unraid. Fedora and Ubuntu are leagues behind in this matter. one thing you'd like to see added to the OS in 2020: 2FA (TOTP/U2F) support for logins. Quote Link to comment
super56k Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I love the ease of use. My wishlist is multiple array support (with support for all flash based arrays too) Quote Link to comment
TSM Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I've been using Unraid since 2008, in that time I've unfortunately had several drives fail, upgraded drives, expanded my array and even moved it to completely new hardware. Unraid did what it was supposed to do each time and I never lost any data. A feature I'd really like to see added would be an integrated backup solution. I've started putting together a backup server, and will soon have to decide on a backup software to use with it, if there was an integrated solution, that would be ideal. Quote Link to comment
techukie Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) I love that the bar to enter into this system is low. My first server was a 1.8GHz core 2 duo with 500GB storage. I'd love to see SSD Array support! Edited December 31, 2019 by techukie Quote Link to comment
yrretmi Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 One thing I really appreciate about unRAID is no longer having to deal with Windows Storage Spaces. Because it failed for me, it forced me to look for alternatives, which brought me to unRAID. Also, those pushy Windows updates were terrible. One thing I would really like to see in unRAID is screen sharing. A friend of mine wants to make the switch, but he's not the most technically savvy. It would be very helpful if he were able to screen share his unRAID GUI, so I were able to guide him remotely. Quote Link to comment
Etumos Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Unraid made me OK with dockers.... its easy to use and it just plain works. Best of all there are great communities out there that support it. I would like to see more native handling for unassigned Drives. Edited December 31, 2019 by Etumos Quote Link to comment
Zethalon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I love the ease of use with arrays and how easy dockers are to install. I would like to see better support for UPS's however along with the option of multiple unraid arrays on one machine. Quote Link to comment
jmmille Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The support of the community is awesome! Dockers, VMs and storage all in one is great. Storage snapshots would be a killer feature in 2020. Quote Link to comment
bigsing Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I've been a user since the 4.x days and the OS has come a very long way. I've setup quite a few servers over the years for friends, and I will continue to recommend it. The community support and dedication from Tom and team is unmatched by any other company! I'd love to see built-in off-site backup support. Perhaps as a start, automated config backup to a specified cloud provider. Quote Link to comment
KSQX Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I now have 2 unRAID servers with 16 disks of 108TB / 2 cache disks of 2.5TB, and planning to build another one with no less than 200TB. I really like the flexibility of increase or reduce disk array, besides the stability is good, worry-free in most situation. As for improvement for 2020, I'd like to see better disk array health summary and report in one click, so I can better planning disk replacement. Quote Link to comment
pixitha Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The gui is so easy to use! I'd love to see multi-chassis support. Quote Link to comment
ctrlaltd1337 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 One thing you like most about Unraid The ease of use for entire operating system. One thing you'd like to see added to the OS in 2020 Backing up through rsync or something similar baked into the OS for off-site backups. Happy New Year, all! Quote Link to comment
