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

    To note, unless you buy the most expensive tier it’s no longer a one time purchase.

      Yep they changed this somewhat recently I believe? Like a year or two back, not sure - before my time.

      Last I checked I think it’s now like $50 or $60 for the first year, and renewals are half that, so definitely not terrible.

      It’s still a one time purchase for the license. It’s only OS updates that would need to be paid for yearly after the 1st year

      Good point. I got 1 year of ultimate, with the plan to upgrade to perpetual if it was good (it is!).

      The cost of that is still less than the cost would have been to buy new matching drives.
