danktankk Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I love the ease with which one can add new drives to the array.  I would like for there to be ANY other native alternative to using a flash drive. Quote Link to comment
SpinnerMaster Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I love how easy it is to expand storage quickly and create fileshares. Â I'd love to see a dark theme for the dashboard, that or docker compose would be great! Quote Link to comment
sonofdbn Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I appreciate the fact that unRAID continues to improve and extend its capabilities in relevant ways for what is effectively a one-time lifetime licence fee and provides truly useful support through its forums. (Unlike, for example - well, something that rhymes with Flex.) And I've learned a lot more Linux. (I think that's a plus 😉?)  I'd love to see more guidance/documentation on how to use dockers from DockerHub that don't come pre-packaged in Community Apps. Quote Link to comment
w^w Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I like constantly expanding unRAID possibilities. Â I would like to have nvidia and dvb support in one system. Quote Link to comment
Torbjorn Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The thing i like most about Unraid is the awesome community behind it, the fact i have gotten so much help setting everything up is amazing. One feature i would like to have is a seamless failover to another Unraid box. Not only for the NAS but also for docker and VMs. Quote Link to comment
MisterWolfe Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I've been using unraid for 9 years. I like how responsive the devs are for adding new features. I also really like how use friendly it is. Quote Link to comment
ElectricBadger Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I love the fact that I don't have to upgrade all drives at once when I need more space. For 2020, I'd like to have multiple cache pools, too. Quote Link to comment
primeval_god Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 For me the star feature has always been the unRAID array. The flexibility of basic drive pooling, the redundancy of parity protection, rock solid stability, and the ability to recover the majority of data in failure scenarios makes it the perfect solution for a home NAS system. Â One feature i would like to see added upon is the ability to display and control groups of docker containers as a unit. Quote Link to comment

There are a lot of accounts here with only a single post. But according to the contest rules in the first post, the creation of those accounts takes the forums closer to 100,000 members, at which point the contest closes? (to be clear, I haven't created any accounts, this contest is just for fun and I've entered once above) Quote Link to comment
1101base2 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The one thing I like is the versatility of the platform. The ability to add more functionality to it than just data redundancy and storage is a huge win for me and at the ridiculously low cost and with hardware I have laying around is fantastic! Â On the note of old hardware... I would love to see a feature of text alerts using something an interface through google voice, and or specific fan alerts, and other temp sensor alerts. While hard drive alerts are great don't get me wrong if a case fan fails I don't know about it unless a HDD temp spikes in correspondence. Where as if I get an alert about a non spinning fan I can swap out a replacement before it becomes a problem to the HDD's or take the side of the case off and put a box fan there in the mean time until a replacement comes in (again using old hardware) Quote Link to comment
rbojanssen Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 From a user who never build a server or used "server" software till a week ago........  I started a week ago and at this moment I have an unRaid server with 4 4TB data drives, an 8TB parity drive, 2 cache ssd's and a M.2 NVMe drive for the VM's, 2 VM's running, auto rsync backups to offsite, installed dockers, auto updates, etc etc........So what I like? Well the fact that a noob like me was able to pull this of.....thx to unRaid!! The flexibility, yet easy to understand, is just.....well awesome!  What I like to see added......well bummer..... can't really answer that right now because I'm not missing anything at the moment. But to put something here: Build in GUI for backing up to extern location... Quote Link to comment
ozboss Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 This is my first post because I'm new to Unraid but I already love it I love it for the amazing community, Docker support and the ease of use especially for server newbies like me I was trying to go with Proxmox but that was really driving me crazy. When I switched to Unraid I successfully managed to implement everything I need within almost a day, where I wasn't able to with Proxmox trying for weeks... Now I just need a license What I would love to see is proper ZFS support. Â Â Quote Link to comment
dirtysanchez Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Just love unRAID in general. Built my server in 2012 and it's been humming along ever since. The improvements in unRAID since then have been amazing and it has soooooo much more functionality, and the unRAID community is second to none!  Would like to see the improvements keep on coming.

Fraih Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I love the simplicity of adding new hard drives of any size and running dockers! Â For 2020 I would like an integrated backup solution to backup the chosen shares to an UD device or remote location through the GUI using versioning. Â Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment
couscous_anonym0us Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Easy to learn and use. Â As far as wants, internal file browsing with drag and drop features. Quote Link to comment
OliverButler Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I love the Community! Im quite new to Unraid. Having used it for a few months now for a low spec NAS I’ve fallen in love with the ease of using Docker containers compared to a regular Linux Distro, and there are so many brilliant people in this community who have helped me get my rig up and running. I’m sure they’ll be extremely useful in the forthcoming few weeks as I have just ordered a 2700x and GTX 1080 for a Windows Gaming VM, this will be fun!  One thing to improve in 2020... possibly the ability to create a separate SSD array for use cases where the fast RW of SSDs would be important, especially with the falling prices of SSDs we have seen through 2019.  Thanks to everyone in the Unraid community and of course the amazing dev team. I hope to be engaging more regularly in the upcoming weeks! Quote Link to comment
kingpin Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 love that i can use different disk sizes  would love to see a better gi for the process page. i am not great with linux, so reading that page to figure out what is using all the resources is a little difficult for me. Quote Link to comment
philvidler Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Love the new WireGuard plugin  Even better if there was a unraid supported Dark Mode Quote Link to comment
jacko1337 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Â one thing you like most about Unraid: its just unraid - simple and just works! updated today 6.8 running fine. Â one thing you'd like to see added to the OS in 2020: Some better finish on mobile devices. Quote Link to comment
vagrantprodigy Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I like the docker management interface, and community apps. Â I'd like to see a second pool supporting ZFS (and what that brings). Quote Link to comment
DELiRiOUS Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The biggest thing I love about unRAID is the ease of use and the fact that you can have an array of various HDD sizes. Â One thing I would like to see added in 2020 is multiple arrays. Quote Link to comment
agarkauskas Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) What I love the most: Simplicity! It Just Works Tm What I would like to be added: Better network handling like VMWare, like the creation of Host Only, NAT and Bridge networks, along with bandwidth allocation for VMs and docker containers. Â Edited January 2, 2020 by agarkauskas Quote Link to comment
serch826 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi, have 3 servers in my family that I manage myself and am very happy with UNRAID is the easiest to understand and the best NAS software, and I have tested almost all if not all that is out there. I miss nothing. Quote Link to comment
reggierat Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 As an IT professional, i love that Unraid is so easy to use, when i get home from work the last thing i need is anything complex at my home.  I would love to see built in check summing and snapshotting for the file system as a standard feature (eventually) Quote Link to comment
