Been running UnRaid since the 4.7 days which dates back about 10 years now.

They've added many features and utilities over the years and is rock solid.

It supports Dockers, VMs and community developed apps. And it runs off nothing but a simple USB stick.

My UnRaid is running as a VM inside of ESXi, and has been flawless.

Anyone have questions, I can help answer.

It really depends on what you're using it for. unRAID is solid when it comes to running containers cleanly.

IMO, the major benefits of unRAID are:

1.) Being able to use different sizes disks and still have redundancy.
2.) Having a cache drive for fast storage that requires a lot of reads and writes (Plex, VMs, container storage, etc)
3.) Good webgui that makes managing containers quite simple.

The biggest downside by far is performance. Write speeds on the array itself aren't great - I get maybe 100MB/sec if I'm lucky.

Great find. I don't think I've ever seen Unraid go on sale.

For those that don't know, Unraid is a great alternative to a Synology or Qnap NAS where you build the server yourself out of old or new PC parts depending on what you want to do with it.

See simple comparisons of Synology / Unraid / TrueNAS here - https://lmgtfy.app/?q=unraid+vs+s...vs+truenas

I love unraid, but unfortunately stuck at an older version until support for the hba I have (r750).

Quote from UntamedGorilla :
The reason why I switched two reasons.

1. I can lose 2+ hard drives without losing the ENTIRE array, you just lose what's on those 2+ drives.
2. I have a dual parity protected 300tb array with 24 drives of various sizes from 14tbs to 6 tbs. When I started I had about 50tbs of various sizes. The expandability is unmatched, you can increase the size of your array without need to buy 4-6 hard drives of the same size, that saved me a ton of money and allowed be to upgrade with prices were good, and slowly instead of all at once.

I just purchased 4 14tb drives and replaced 2 12tb parity drives and 2 6tb drives that I had in my array, My array was down for the time it took me to remove the drives and replace them.
Right now, I have 34 tb with 3 parity drives. Snapraid only req the largest parity drives be equal to largest data drive. However many parity drives you have is up to you. This diff than unraid?

I've never tried Unraid. I've been running OMV for years now. As a matter of fact I need to look into upgrading from version 4. I haven't rebooted my NAS in over 300 days. It's free and been rock stable. Seeing this listed got me curious about unraid.
Unraid offers a free version so people can try it out fwiw. I've also owned Unraid for 10+yrs. It's been awesome.

What is your current pool setup? are you using BTRFS, ext4, or ZFS? Are do you have RAID or a pseudo RAID setup? Those Open Media Vault support Snapshots from withing the web gui?

Can I buy the registration key without having unrauid installed? I am planning on setting it it up but it might be a few months before I get around to doing so.

This is true.

I've been using Unraid for about 9 years now, absolutely LOVE it. Currently running a 34TB usable array on hardware of the same vintage, works great!

I have multiple SSD cache pools. That doesn't fix writes directly to the array.
