Posted September 21, 2017 Hello! I have an file server running Openmediavault, but thinking to migrate to Unraid. And want some experiences from unraid users, and i have some questions. So my question's is: Is unraid worth the money? Does it work seamless in an Windows environment? How is the performance vs openmediavault? Does unraid have possibility to host print-services? Thanks!

Posted March 30, 2019 Tried Freenas, left that for Unraid as my drives were going to be different sizes so I wanted flexibility and to not shell out hundreds for more ram. Leaving Unraid right now for OMV as the performance and price of unraid are both bummers. OMV seems to be the best of both worlds, and I'll run it in a VM on proxmox so even...better.... :) That's why I voted OMV. I'll come to change my vote if I move back to unraid, but after researching, I think I'll be happy I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 30, 2019 The best thing to do is try unRAID for the 30 days free the whole os is unlocked in the trial so you will get a real feel for it with no guessing, as far as cost well it is for the most part the cheapest part of the build I personally have 2 unRAID servers and have no complaints the support is outstanding - as for windows 10 well lets just say if something doesn't work its windows 10 not the server os - sorry can't offer a comparison your looking for as I only messed with freeNAS before committing to unRAID My daily driver: The Wrath of Red: OS Windows 10 home edition / CPU Ryzen TR4 1950x 3.85GHz / Cooler Master MasterAir MA621P Twin-Tower RGB CPU Air Cooler / PSU Thermaltake Toughpower 750watt / ASRock x399 Taichi / Gskill Flare X 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz / HP 10GB Single Port Mellanox Connectx-2 PCI-E 10GBe NIC / Samsung 512GB 970 pro M.2 / ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX 8GB / Acer - H236HLbid 23.0" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor x3 My technology Rig: The wizard: OS Windows 10 home edition / CPU Ryzen R7 1800x 3.95MHz / Corsair H110i / PSU Thermaltake Toughpower 750watt / ASUS CH 6 / Gskill Flare X 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz / HP 10GB Single Port Mellanox Connectx-2 PCI-E 10GBe NIC / 512GB 960 pro M.2 / ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX 8GB / Acer - H236HLbid 23.0" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor HP Monitor My I don't use Rig: OS Windows 10 home edition / CPU Ryzen 1600x 3.85GHz / Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P Twin-Tower RGB CPU Air Cooler / PSU Thermaltake Toughpower 750watt / MSI x370 Gaming Pro Carbon / Gskill Flare X 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz / Samsung PM961 256GB M.2 PCIe Internal SSD / EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC GAMING / Acer - H236HLbid 23.0" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor My NAS: The storage miser: OS unRAID v. 6.9.0-beta25 / CPU Intel i7 6700 / Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500 Watt 80 Plus / ASUS Maximus viii Hero / 32GB Gskill RipJaw DDR4 3200Mhz / HP Mellanox ConnectX-2 10 GbE PCI-e G2 Dual SFP+ Ported Ethernet HCA NIC / 9 Drives total 29TB - 1 4TB seagate parity - 7 4TB WD Red data - 1 1TB laptop drive data - and 2 240GB Sandisk SSD's cache / Headless Why did I buy this server: OS unRAID v. 6.9.0-beta25 / Dell R710 enterprise server with dual xeon E5530 / 48GB ecc ddr3 / Dell H310 6Gbps SAS HBA w/ LSI 9211-8i P20 IT / 4 450GB sas drives / headless Just another server: OS Proxmox VE / Dell poweredge R410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
