Whaler_99 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thing I like most, dual parity. Thing I'd like to see in 2020, better support for sas disks and spin down. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment
tr3bjockey Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I love the ease of use of setting up a NAS, setting up shares, and all the docker apps and community support. The #1 thing that attracted me to unraid is the ability to expand storage ore replace drives without having to match drive space or drive specs. The ability to use an ssd as your cache drive is a major bonus. I'm currently running a 4tb drive as parity, another 4tb drive, a 1tb drive, and a 320gb drive. I don't really have the money to replace my 1tb drive that already has a s.m.a.r.t warning. I do have faith that the Unraid parity will allow me to postpone purchase as long as possible to reduce the costs of the drive purchase. I hope that I can win a discount so that I can purchase the middle priced license. Hopefully my 1tb drive won't fail before I can save enough to purchase another one. If not, I will have to reset my config without the failed 1tb drive. :-( Wish me luck! Happy new year everyone! Quote Link to comment
kaabij Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I like the flexibility it provides when you have spare disks laying around. It would be nice to know an approximate power draw that the Unraid server is using and a histogram for it. This can be an approximation based on hardware specifications (type of processor, type of drives). Not everyone has a UPS that displays the current power draw and it could be helpful in making better decisions. Quote Link to comment
nosro Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I love that expanding the storage pool does not require more than one drive change or addition at a time. I would like to see a plugin that helps to migrate the cache drive more easily. The cache drive is being asked to do more and more (due to dockers) but isn't so easy to expand. I realize there is a procedure for this, but I'm looking for something more simple. Quote Link to comment
Moniker01 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I love the ease of use and great community support. I'd like to see my custom case image not need to be replaced after every shutdown. Quote Link to comment
JTok Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I love the flexibility to manipulate the OS with plugins and other things from the community. I would be really interested in seeing snapshots implemented for KVM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
turokevie Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I like how easy it was to get this going and the required hardware is not demanding at all What I would like to see more is some simple documentation on how to backup or transfer to another server if mine dies on me.

NinjaKitty Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I really like how it's easy to setup, the improvements to the UI this year made it a lot more appealing to join. I think one thing I would like to have more improvements to SMB performance. It hasn't ever been stable. I was able to mitigate the problem with the performance dropping to 0, but it still doesn't feel stable, which I'm concerned will be worse when I decide to upgrade to 10g Quote Link to comment
TessyPowder Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I like the beautiful Web Interface. I would like to see SSD Support in 2020. Quote Link to comment
tazman Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) The stability and functionality make me confident about unRAID today, the responsiveness and great support of Tom, the developer team and the community make me confident about unRAID in the future. Simply said: thank you I keep close track of my hard disks and track the development of especially wear SMART values manually. It would great if unRAID would keep a log of the SMART history for me, e.g. by polling a drive once a day (customizable) and keeping track of changes.

53616D Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I like how shares, containers and VMs all work together. I have tried most other ´home server´ distros and unRaid just works. I would like to see the ability to remove a disk from the GUI without losing date. This should also include moving the data off first. Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I have been usimg unraid for about 1 year, and i love the simple interface, that allows you.to navagate around unraid. What i would like to be added to the OS is a better interface to allow users to set up schedule tasks, as at the moment i feel this area is lacking at the moment. Quote Link to comment
Sander0542 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 What I like about unRAID? I like how easy it is to setup and get working. The ability to expand the platform with extensions is great. What I would like to see? That is support for Microsoft Accounts in the Samba Config. Quote Link to comment
Jeffboardman Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I just installed and converted to unraid two weeks ago, its amazing how much easier it is to use versus dealing with command line docker. Im hooked and prepping to build a second! the biggest feature I would like to see is built in replication! Quote Link to comment
squirrellydw Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I have been using UnRaid for about 10 years, since 4.4 maybe. It has come such a long way in that time and just keeps getting better. When you added dockers it was my favorite feature and made setting everything up so easy. I can't wait till Wireguard is built in natively so I can safely and securely access my server remotely. Keep up the great work, I look forward to see what the future holds. Quote Link to comment
dafidbuteille Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I love how simple it is to do advanced applicances with Unraid. I would love to see more features and more automatisms on the cache partitions. Automatic mover would be nice for starter. Quote Link to comment
Auxilium Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Unraid allows gradual (you can start with just 1 drive) and safe (adding additional drive won't stress the rest) storage expansion, and even if you need for some reason to access data independently of system, you can! mt-st support, edac-util and built-in unassigned drive functionality (so it can be used in safe mode) Quote Link to comment
Taddeusz Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 How easy it is to get Unraid going as well as how easy it is to upgrade hardware. My wish for 2020 is to have live drive hot swapping or official support for array SSD’s. Quote Link to comment
Kylevdm Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The fact I can slowly upgrade the server, a drive here, a GPU there. Multiple array and SSD array options! Quote Link to comment
coenjames69 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The best thing would be how it is open source and can use any hardware. to have the app tab allready the so you don’t have to add it yourself and to have an easier way to add Pulseway to it instead of doing it from terminal Quote Link to comment
FelixTheEpic Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) My favorite feature about Unraid is the ability to consistently add various drives. This is a much have for lower budget home builds that want future expansion without creating new arrays for single drives. A feature I would like to see would be maybe more GPU passthrough features like slicing a GPU for multiple VMs. Edited January 1, 2020 by FelixTheEpic Spell check Quote Link to comment
DevXen Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I moved to unRAID due to it solving issues I had with raid like different disk sizes. And adding more as you go. Parity is nice to have too. In hear snapshots would be a nice feature. Quote Link to comment
nacat78 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I enjoy the versatility of the unraid os with the support of limetech and users, anything is possible with the system... Quote Link to comment
