Unraid Guides: The Ultimate Home NAS Solution

On Unraid Guides, I bring you guides not just on Unraid, but also on applications you might be running on it. These include the popular Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr. I will also be sharing my thought on hardware, such as computer cases and graphics cards.

Unraid is a Linux-based operating system optimized for network-stored media files.

While it isn’t free, it does have a bunch of very useful features which make Unraid worth the price you pay for it.
