Do you need to add additional storage in your UNRAID server (NAS) or maybe you're just looking to add some extra drives to future proof the amount of storage available in your UNRAID NAS?
In this video, I walk through the process of adding an additional data disk into an UNRAID NAS to increase our total data storage capacity and, in addition to that, I cover over some of the considerations that you should take into account when adding additional components (in this case, hard drives) such as PSU requirements, motherboard compatibility and some tips on how to avoid headaches if your new hard drive is DOA!
This is the drive (a WD RED PRO 6TB) that I purchased (from Amazon) and installed in this video tutorial: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08M9PN2TW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8
The server case that is featured in this video (for those interested) is a Logic Case SC-39480G-ATX (Black)
The version of UNRAID installed and featured in this tutorial video is: UNRAID 6.10.3 (but should 100% work on past and present versions of UNRAID too!)
