I love the community around unraid. It’s super easy to find help with anything. Either the unraid forums or r/unraid I’ve had a great time reading about everyone’s setups and trying to help where I can!

 

and as silly as it sounds, I’d love the ability to create a traditional raid array in unraid. I wouldn’t mind a two or three drive raid array in addition to my existing unraid array to get some additional read speeds without requiring a cache drive. Like I said. It’s silly and completely defeats the purpose of unraid, but for a few speed sensitive, data heavy applications it could be useful. 

Love the docker integration

 

Would like to see iscsi !

I love that even if I have a drive failure I don't need to panic cause I have parity. Super easy to get back up and running

 

A discord notification agent would be lovely

I love the hardware flexibility of Unraid. I would like to see Unassigned Devices built in with some sort of mdadm mirror or raid that lets the mover move the files back to the array. 

The best thing about unraid, in my view, is that its relatively easy to set up and then automate to run. Its one of the only non-windows system I haven't actually broken from trying to change settings, etc. I remember my last attempt at setting up my pfsense box fucked up to the extent that I gave up and reinstalled it. I'm happy beyond my initial trial and error my UnRaid system has been going strong.

 

As for something I'd like to see - it would be to have backup functionalities in-built to the system, such that we can back up the whole system to another server /  cloud provider.

 

 

I like how easy it is to add storage, with drives of different sizes!

 

I'd love to see support for raspberry pi (or ARM in general).

I love the scalability of adding drives and how easy it is to setup.

 

I'm quite content with the current state of unraid.

The thing I like the most of Unraid is that in start from a USB drive and then just runs in RAM! That's efficient usage of power and storage as its bot using a harddrive for simply a OS.

 

And about things i'd like to see in 2020, im not yet fully in to usage, did a trial run and now awaiting my Dell R730 to arrive to start my Unraid adventure to the fullest extend!

What I like most is the Docker support.  It allows me to easily run lots of services on one machine.

 

What I would like to see added is VM snapshot functionality.

 

What I like most just like everyone on the forum easily setup and control over.

What I would like to see a different way to browse folder/file in each drive.

So much easier to use than FreeNAS

 

Would like to see multiple array support, or the ability to do a raid-1 on a secondary array.  

The best thing about unraid is defiantly the community...You can ask any question about anything, here or on reddit, and someone will know how to help.

 

Something I would like to see in 2020 is the ability to have more than one array, I know I know, everyone wants it but it would really be a very powerful tool and most of us would utilize.

 

Keep up the great work everyone!

I love how unRAID allowed me to make use of my menagerie of different sized drives EASILY.

 

I would love to see an Android app to manage unRAID or at least a mobile optimized version of the web interface.

Like most currently: ease of use

Want in future: native iOS management app or mobile optimized version of web interface

I think the one thing I like the most is how flexible the OS is while also retaining that ease of use factor.

 

I think possibly a mobile phone management app could be a cool option as well as the possibility to VNC into VM's that already have GPU's passed through.

I love how easy it was to setup and add drives. My setup has been built up over 3 years never had a single issue.

 

I would like to see some sort of integrated backup solution.

One thing I love is the ability to pool all my drives of different sizes.

 

I would love to see some sort of web accessable API for 2020.

I like the docker use, and implementation. It is way easier to add docker containers off the cuff. 

 

I want the ability to add a lot more drives.

I love how integral unraid has become to managing my digital life. Community applications has taken over a lot of menial tasks and allowed me to automate.

 

I would like to see unraid create a mobile website or app that lets me control the gui easier from my phone over VPN. The website renders on mobile and is somewhat usable, but it's far from perfect.

Here goes:

 

I like that unraid allows me to easily, and cost effectively run my own jbod type nas. 

 

I look forward to SSD support on the array.

It's incredibly easy to use. I really enjoyed building my 2990wx system on it and it has great stability.

 

I'd like another storage pool or to be able to add more disks to the 30 disk limit.

I like how my Unraid server is an all in one machine handling multiple tasks using containers.

 

I would like to see an integration using docker-compose so that I can reliably back up my docker compose files and configuration using version control (git).

I love the flexibility unRAID offers and how supportive the community is.

 

Would like to see an easier way to change the formating of my drives to xfs.

I love how simple it is to use

 

i’d like to see support for more drives / disk configurations

 

Thing I like: Everything about it, but since the questions is about a specific thing I guess I'm going with how very little maintenance is needed for the system to work properly.

 

Thing I'd like to see: Some form of block level data de-duplication and plug in play glusterfs integration.
