UnRaid 18tb Hard Drive Support?


Recommended Posts

Fellow Forum Members,

Western Digital has introduced a new GOLD 18TB Enterprise Hard Drive. They claim it is CMR and not SMR.  Nevertheless, will my UnRaid OS I installed back in January 2020 support a hard drive with a capacity as big as 18TB without installing an UnRaid OS update?  Or will it be necessary to update my UnRaid OS to the latest version to support such a big 18TB hard drive? Is hard drive capacity even a concern as it relates to the UnRaid OS?  I ask because a 20TB hard drive is due to start selling soon. Will the UnRaid OS need to be updated as well to support 20TB hard drives?  Any opinions welcome and thanks for your time.
