jang430 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hi. I recently bought 10 SAS 3TB drives If I'm not at all concerned about the data in the array, can I do a RAID 5 config in the array? With 6 SAS2 drives in RAID 5 config, maybe I will be able to achieve PCIe performance? How will I be able to use parity? I have a Dell PercH310 with LSI SAS2008, SAS2 card in IT mode, can connect up to 8 drives. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Unraid does not support any of the traditional RAID types in the array (hence it's name). The closest you would get is to use the BTRFS variant in the cache pool. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Unraid is not RAID, you can never use stripping on the array, you can a raid5 cache pool or uses for example raid0 volumes as arrays devices, I have a small server where all arrays devices are two disks in raid0 (including parity).

jang430 Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 @itimpi, thanks! @johnnie.black, can you clarify how do to it again? Each array is made up of 2 drives, in raid0? What do you mean by including parity? You mean you have 2 drives in raid0 assigned as parity? Quote Link to comment
