So now that my movie, music, and photo library is getting pretty large and now worried I should build something for back up and unraid looks like the easiest to use. I have a few questions about what I should get to start with. Right now I have a 2tb drive that runs windows 7 and has my music and photos stored on it. I also have a 6 tab drive with about 4tb's of movies and tv on it. And last I have a 1tb drive because the guy at micro city said it would be enough for what I needed, boy was he wrong. SO as far as all my movies , music, and photos I have around 5 tb's total. I know that when you add a drive to unraid it wipes it clean to be used. So my question is how many drives shoul I start with, do I need two or three drives? One parity and one or two data drives? My other question is I've seen a few YouTube videos mention that the parity drive should be the largest drive. I have the 6tb drive that has my movies and TV stored on it. Can I get another 6tb drive or should I get an 8tb drive for my parity drive?
I hope this makes sense what I'm asking since this will be my first time doing this.
