Posted July 29, 2018 Hello All, So I am rebuilding my home server and I am setting it up in Raid 5. Previously, I was just adding new hard drives to the home folder using /etc/fstab. I am already very proficent in ubuntu server, however this would be the first time setting up a raid array on it. I have read mixed thoughts on unRaid. But I also noticed Linus trying it out in a couple episodes. So basically my queston is this, am I at any kind of disadvantage using mdadm vs unRaid? I realize they are two different raid solutions. Please share your thoughts and/or experiences using one vs the other. 120GB SSD for primary (or cache if unRaid) and 3 2tb WD blue drives. Also in terms of adding disks to the array later, I would assume unraid would be easier. Am I wrong? I primarily use the server for Plex, a usenet client, and a few other programs that run with the help of mono. I also use SMB and occasionally I use it for hosting on CS:GO. Thanks in advance!
