Cannot set up Raid 5 on External Drives in ZimaOS

Hello! I’ve been struggling with this all morning, but I am unable to set up Raid 5 (or any raid) on my ZimaOs server. I have multiple usb drives, and have formatted them all, and they will not work with my server. I will go to Storage → Create Storage → Combine → Select Raid 5 → Select all my external drives (some external ssd, some are external harddrives), and I cannot continue, as the next button is grayed out and it wont let me continue. I want to be able to do this because I currently have everything on my main drive (with zimaos) and i am running out of storage for plex, immich, and jellyfin. I am extremely new to setting up servers and everything, so I apologize ahead of time if I am confused at all or making a dumb mistake. It’s been a long morning lol

Here’s a youtube link to my problem, showing off what i mean, since I cannot upload raw footage as im new → https://youtu.be/DYkE9TobGPk

Thank you for your time

Hi! No worries at all, and thank you for explaining the issue in detail.

Could you please confirm whether you are currently using ZimaOS Plus? The free version of ZimaOS supports up to four drives. If the total number of drives connected to your system exceeds this limit, the “Next” button may remain unavailable when creating the RAID.

To use additional drives, you can upgrade to ZimaOS Plus for $29 through our official website. Thank you in advance for your support!
