Do you mean shucking them and using them in unRAID array or using them as an Unassigned Device? I shuck and use WD 8TB external drives in my array. They work just fine. I also have a 14TB external still in the enclosure that I use as an unassigned device for backups of array contents; also works great. The 14TB external drive should be fine for any use with unRAID.

SteveA Posted June 8, 2020 Author Posted June 8, 2020 Hi Hoopster I was thinking about shucking it and using in unraid but i am also thinking of using it to backup my media to the 14tb external drive. my case has 3 drive bays so have a couple of options Option 1 14tb parity drive then 2*6tb HDD for media. Option 2 No parity 2*6tb and 1*4tb for media then use the 14tb external as another backup I only have 5tb of used media at the moment. Quote
