Now I'm even happier that I moved to proxmox.
I never understood why people use unraid, mostly because I never understood the "parity" features, or honestly between you and me the lack of proper parity. But I have a Synology, so I can't talk (price wise) and I have raid 5 everywhere so parity is a joke here too :p
You can use drives with different sizes and, if array fails, all the files are readable. Good luck with RAID5 and stripping.
For me, I use unraid because I have a consistent need to continue upgrade disks and I really need to be able to do it adhoc because I can't afford to replace 24 disks at a time and don't want to fight with multiple zfs pools. I was actually planning to go to a new unraid server with 36 disks and have a second pro license. I just finished removing all 8tb disks and will be replacing the 10 and 12tb with 22tb now.
Now I might have to use truenas or something as an intermediate so I can reuse my existing license.
