CaptainCopSuey Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I love that Unraid frees up the time of maintaining my server by putting the things I care about it one dashboard. I would love to see more robust permission management for shares. Quote Link to comment
mrj617 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Love that it allows me to mix and match all the random hard drives around the house. An SSD array would be pretty neat to have. Edited December 27, 2019 by mrj617 mispelled Quote Link to comment
RonneBlaze Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Being able to add one drive at a time (unlike freenas) Some UI improvements. Quote Link to comment
jakeaw Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What I like most: The ease and flexibility of adding new drives What I would like to see: Ability to stripe/mirror usb boot drives for redundancy Quote Link to comment
ColeBrodine Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The best feature of Unraid is how easy the WebGUI makes it to setup the system and use dockers/VMs. (Especially once paired with the Community Applications Plugin!) I also love being able to mix and match hard drive sizes. My most desired feature is probably the ability to run ARM VMs so I can virtualize some of my Raspberry Pis. Keep of the great work! I love Unraid! Quote Link to comment
NickF Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) I like the ease of use also, moved from synology diskstation to a DIY NAS and had tried OMV first and had a lot of weird bugs hard to use, loving Unraid so far, love the extensive app support also. What I would like is a better interface for the scheduler almost a gui representaion, also I would like to see eventual linux kernel 5+ support as I a using am an intel gemini lake based build. Other than that just polishing and bug fixing. Edited December 27, 2019 by NickF Quote Link to comment
plasmaball Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What I like most: Runs from USB stick, making it VERY easy to backup and recover if something goes wrong. What I would like to see in 2020: More powerful VM editor. Current one overwrites custom XML edits. Quote Link to comment
Fizzyade Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The fact it isn’t raid and worse case I lose the data on the dead drives and not the entire system. id like to see more dynamic control over virtual machines, buttons to connect/disconnect usb devices and changes like the VNC port not resetting on gui changes.

keato Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The Interface is clean and easy to navigate unlike some other brands. I have been using Unraid almost since the beginning. 8 Years ago. I would like to see multiple arrays allowed. Quote Link to comment
GuyWithAQuestion Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 1) Being able to expand my array with different size drives 2) Snapshots I'm a new user who's coming from FreeNAS. I liked FreeNAS for its ability to store my data. However, when I wanted to start using it for other things (VMs, Plex Server, PiHole, VPN server, etc) it was waaaaaaaay easier to setup, manage, and learn about (Spaceinvader One videos and community support!!!) with unRAID. unRAID is well worth the cost.

sausuke Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Things that I liked: So easy to setup (thanks to spaceinvaderone videos too) and it maximize the potential of my system (1950x and 1080ti). The forum is so helpful, the updates are worth it for new hardwares. Others: *The dockers *The Virtual Machines *The GUI Like to see added to the OS in 2020: Hope there's a duplicate button in VM for XML Changes Edited December 27, 2019 by sausuke Quote Link to comment
13tladv Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I appreciate being able to easily utilize various dockers, vms and other apps in an intuitive interface. I would like to see some type of ability to backup/restore a built in cloud backup of the primary unraid flash drive. Quote Link to comment
Danner Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I like that managing drives in the array is very easy, and that data can be transparently accessed regardless of where it is on the array. I can't wait to see what 2020 brings. Quote Link to comment
DiggsNC Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 My favorite thing about Unraid, it just works. It's simple and does what I want all the time every time. The one thing I would like to see added to the OS is support for SSD drives. Thanks and congrats!!! Side note: I hope someone that needs the pro license wins it, I just want a case badge.

Mith Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I like Unraid's ease of use. In 2020 I'd like to see the option for a second storage pool. Quote Link to comment
deepthought Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The best thing about Unraid is that it's easy enough for beginners, but it also allows you to dig deeper and really have fun as you climb the Linux learning curve. Unraid was my first major foray into using a linux-based system for anything meaningful, and it was simple enough to get going and learn with. Now I'm comfortable with CLI and really see the limitations of just using a Windows machine for home server stuff. I hope that Unraid gets better support for fan control and system temp settings. I'm one of the weird people who don't put their server in a rack in the basement, and I'd like to be able to get away from the motherboard fan controls. Quote Link to comment
jpotrz Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Best thing? The community - here in the official forums, reddit... anywhere. It's insane the amount of free (great!) help people are willing to provide. Thing to add? separate and distinct arrays Quote Link to comment
Candle Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 1. I love how easy docker is to utilize Plex and such 2. would love an easier way to migrate data from FreeNAS Quote Link to comment
Magiverous Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 My favourite thing is the ease of initial setup and overwhelming compatibility with my old ass hardware. I'd love to see more than one unraid login. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 Quote Link to comment
Arandomdood Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Good luck to everyone!! The best thing is definetely the community, it's so easy to deploy a good and usable NAS thanks to unRAID. The only thing I'd really like to see is an ability to limit max size of shares So that you can include multiple disks, but make sure they don't get filled up fully. Quote Link to comment
eleetsrelyt Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Love the easy setup. Would like to see server to server mirroring and/or backup Quote Link to comment
alexm Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Congrats on 100k! What I like most: stability and easy of use. I've recommended unraid to many friends and I very rarely get asked for help. At the same time it's incredibly powerful and allows me to do fun things like virtualize pfsense, have dual parity drives (which worked brilliantly for me during a recent 2 drive failure) and a cache pool. Too many more great things I could mention here.. What I want to see in 2020: keep on keeping on! Quote Link to comment
JKY Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hello, I am new. I was told about UnRaid about two months ago. Just built a Ryzen 8 core PC with 24GB or RAM for gameing. So it was the perfect time to try UnRaid.... I was blown away! "One thing you like most about Unraid" The value it offers. With the use of VMs, Docker, Parity.... I can do so much stuff the I used to do across multiple computers. One thing you'd like to see added to the OS in 2020. Controls to snapshot or back up a VM or Docker configurations you got right. I messed up my gaming VMs XML and the easiest was out was to start the installer over. Quote Link to comment
mojotaker Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hello Unraid Engineers, What I like most about unraid, is its ease of install, What I would like to see in 2020 is Either a mobile app, Or a PWA version of the control panel. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
2FA Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The best part of Unraid is the community around it. What I would like to see is VM snapshots. Quote Link to comment
