Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Is Unraid still the best option for multi disk size setups? As the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out if it is still a strong solution.

Context: I am doing a rebuild and would like to reuse my 10 TB drives while also upgrading to 20 TB drives and phase them in over time. ( Currently I will have 4x 10 TB drives ,2x 20 TB )

Depends on how technical you are and how much time you have.

If I had tons of time to figure it out, I would do a NixOS/bcachefs setup. But I have a high risk tolerance. For most people it probably wouldn't be worth it.
