MarkMcG93 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hello all, I am new to unraid but have really enjoyed making my first server. I put my system together using 4x old hard drives I had each 4TB in size. Also a 1TB NVME M2 SSD as a cache. I would now like to start upgrading these drives to 12TB as that has become a lot more affordable since I first purchased these 4TB units. My question is, due to my parity drive only being 4TB, does this need to be the first drive I upgrade or will 4TB still provide enough “parity” space. apologies if this is a silly question, I am new to this so a bit of learning to do!
