It’s proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

    I picked unRAID to be able to mix disk sizes. It also requires little maintenance in my experience, so that’s also a plus.

    Unraid is easy to start with when you have no idea what you’re doing. Other stuff often requires more up front work to setup.

    The paid licence is just the cost of the conveniences.

      UnRAID is also great when you know exactly what you’re doing but you do this stuff for work every day and your home stuff you want to be easy and out of the box lol.

    Has a nice UI, let’s me mix and match disks, let’s me host docker containers plus a VM with gpu pass through.

    All basically out of the box. (Ok - Pass through was a bastard) All for a one off price.

    I don’t know if there are other options that let me do all of that, unraid has always been the one mentioned.
