This is what happens when a Nucleus abuses steroids (Custom unRAID Roon Server & NAS)

Are you running RAID 5?
unRAID uses a different system. Rather than striping data across drives like RAID it uses a dedicated parity disk (or disks). This has some up and some downsides, but for home use I think makes more sense - it allows spin down of individual disks in an array that aren’t being used and so is more power efficient. The result is the same - disk failure tolerance. It also uses a nice SSD caching system that improves read/write performance.

Oh. I had assumed unRAID could do things like RAID 6, etc. The inability to do that would be a deal-breaker for me. See “Durability and preventing bit-rot” in my post on A Roon on (Synology) NAS Primer.

Still cool, though!!
