Only time mine has turned off is during times that the power goes off too long for my UPS.
I very much prefer this server OS to my Qnap or my Office's Synology. I've tried multiple server OSes, but I'm certainly no expert on the subject. I stopped looking after installing Unraid (because my search was over).
I will pickup another - my current server will become the backup server.
Thanks OP.
The cpu cores and memory not reserved for the gaming VM run the NAS and ton of dockerized services including Plex Media Server and even my private Mastodon instance. Docker containers can be assigned different networks including routing them through wireguard vpn tunnels.
Nearly everything I mentioned can be accomplished through the web gui without knowing anything about linux or terminal commands. The software is quite magical in how relatively easy it makes a lot of power-user functionality.
Basically, this is meant function as a NAS (network attached storage), that can also run virtual machines and docker containers. This allows you to have redundancy of data, through RAID, and offer the data through apps like Plex. One of the key differences of unRAID vs other RAID oriented software is the ability to use different size HDDs/SDDs without losing the additional storage size above the size of the smallest drive. This is only possible due to unRAID not really being a RAID... hence the name.

Does unRAID install to a drive from of a bootable iso like any other OS?
So essentially if I wanted to back up a 50tb system I would need to go out and buy 50tb worth of drives? Or does it do any kind of compression? And for file history would it require even more than a 1:1 backup since there are multiple versions of files? Thanks & sounds like great software just need to wrap my mind around it specifically for the purposes of backing up a system.
<Rant>
I wish they'd be a little more transparent about these basic and fundamental questions on their website, it's like they just assume everyone knows how the nuts and bolts of this thing works, or trying to just get you to buy it without a full understanding of what it is and just saying how many things you can do with it. I am sure it's great but they need better explanatory content. I shouldn't have to ask these questions to the general public after browsing around their website and watching a fifteen minute video on it.</rant>
I used a sff desktop like this https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/773596 when I built my unraid because they have a ton of USB ports. If you need extra ports beyond I recommend using a powered USB hub.

Like has been mentioned, it is a hardware based system that you provide the hardware for. Note that you can use old hardware. My current server is running beautifully on 13 year old hardware - but I'm not asking a lot of it at the moment. That's why I will be using my current as a backup and getting a more capable one put together.
Unraid does things differently than most servers like TrueNAS, Synology, Qnap, etc. Unraid's technology uses up to two parity drives for two drive failure protection. Note that that protection should NOT be the only backup of important data. Each drive in the array runs separately from the others and has fully intact data on it. This means the array is slower that typical RAID systems that puts data on multiple disks - that can be sped up with a cache drive (or two) though. There are some advantages to that approach - some I can think of are 1) if you have more disk failures than your parity setup, it doesn't mean all your data is lost; 2) not all disks need to 'spin up' to be used; and 3) drives of different sizes can be used
To me, Unraid is geared to the home enthusiast, not the business environment. However, that doesn't mean it's not fully capable of a business environment deployment.
I've tried a bunch of other raid system later, including Synology and TrueNas etc. Unraid still remains the most rock-solid and stable.
