250GB cache
1 TB Pool
2 TB Pool
(2TB Parity partition + 8TB non-redundant storage partition) = 10 TB HDD
You’ll have a total of 3 TB that’s protected, and 8 TB that’s not. When you get another 10 TB drive in the future, then you’ll have a total of 13 TB that’s protected.
Didn't know this was possible, can I do the partitioning via unraid gui? How risky is it to do it this way?
Like they said, the 2 GB partition would be covered by parity and can be recovered, the 8 GB cannot.
ah right yeah, thanks
