About Unraid
Unraid is a paid NAS operating system that combines network storage, Docker containers, and virtual machines on one home server.
It pools mismatched drives into a parity-protected array, supports ZFS, BTRFS, and XFS pools with SSD caching, and manages Docker apps through Community Apps templates. A web interface controls storage, containers, and VMs, and the system boots from USB or internal storage.
Lime Technology has sold Unraid since 2005 as a perpetual license with tiered pricing and a 30-day free trial. It runs on 64-bit x86 hardware you assemble yourself, so expansion means adding drives rather than replacing the machine.
