Great hardware.

Unraid... shudders

What would you pick over Unraid?

[–] lightrush 2 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Linux software LVMRAID or better yet - ZFS.

But I don't want to spend my free time managing yet another server. Slap unraid on it an call it a day.

I was referring to the actual storage system. Unraid's funny JBOD vs some easy to use industry standard solutions. Not the overall OS with any dancing bears it displays, or doesn't. ☺️

If you're looking at the latter, I have no argument against installing something with easy to use interface etc. like Unraid.

Unraid supports zfs pools as of the 6.12 update
