About this deal

Save files in a single location or you can even free the space on the internal drive of your computer for better performance. For newer 12TB drives, make sure you are not using a generic external enclosure as some do not properly support larger drives, and will see them as 2TB drives, or only allow 2TB partitions while leaving everything else unallocated.

Given your stated goals, the closest suggestion I can give is set the 12TB as disk1 in the parity array, with no parity disk, and the SSD's in a BTRFS RAID pool. Sadly, given the lack of new products, it seems that hard drive manufacturers have given up on portable and laptop hard disk drives altogether. As of January 2024, the largest hard disk drive released is a 30TB hard disk drive from Seagate, the Exos Mozaic 3+.When I connect my new 12Tb hard drive to my computer to initialize it my system sees two 2Tb (unallocated) MBR disks. SSDs are a form of flash-based or Flash memory storage and will each have a capacity, given in MB, GB or TB.

I am using Windows 10 Pro (Version 20H2) 64 bit and I have just purchased a 12Tb Western Digital DC HC520 hard drive.

SSDs tends to get the limelight when it comes to storage technology but the sobering reality is that a lot of data worldwide is archived and lives in cold storage, media that requires hours, if not days before it is accessible. I'm really enjoying Unraid and already have the Pro license to create my new NAS, currently I'm testing Unraid on my vmware workstation before I migrate my pc to Unraid.

The WD Gold Enterprise class SATA HDD is a data center HDD but will be more adequate for most usage. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. Use AMD software RAID 0 with 6 SSDs, on Unraid add 12TB Raid 0 SSDs and 12TB HDD, find a solution for a daily backup from SSDs data disk RAID 0 to data disk 12TB HDD. Bought as a direct replacement for an SSD that was coming to the end of its life, but also to give a bit extra space.If you want to have a PCIe drive instead, expect to pay a significant premium although the difference in speed will be one magnitude higher thanks to the use of PCIe Gen 4 protocol.
