Pcxtech Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm very new to UnRaid and was wondering if it's feasible to use UnRaid with my 4 bay DAS , currently the drives (4x identical X14 Seagate Exos HDDs) are formatted NTFS and being managed as individual disks in this enclosure. The machine the DAS is connected to is a notebook (I know, I know) being utilized as my Plex media server. Would UnRaid be a good way to go? Its appealing as I can add disks as my collection grows. What would be the way to migrate these four drives from NTFS to UnRaid? thanks for any help Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 That would not be a good fit for Unraid as it only provides a single USB connection instead of separate SAS/SATA connections to each disk. And the notebook wouldn't be a good platform for running the Unraid OS either, for the same reason, not enough separate disk connections. Quote Link to comment
Pcxtech Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Thanks I better stick to my Node 804 build with 8 drives + 2 for parity. Will that type of standalone box built with a Ryzen APU (3400g) be a more realistic application for unraid? Quote Link to comment
