Is Unraid still the best option for multi disk size setups? Are there alternatives?
Is Unraid still the best option for multi disk size setups? As the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out if it is still a strong solution.
Context: I am doing a rebuild and would like to reuse my 10 TB drives while also upgrading to 20 TB drives and phase them in over time. ( Currently I will have 4x 10 TB drives ,2x 20 TB )
Have a look at mergerfs. Doesn't give you any redundancy like raid does, but allows you to easily mix, add and remove drives of different sizes. It all depends on your needs, priorities and backup strategie.
