Since 2005, thousands of customers have trusted Unraid to securely store large amounts of data, back up photos and videos, run virtual machines, play games and movies from their server, and much more. The possibilities are endless.
Our founder, Tom, wanted a reliable way to store and back up his sizable DVD collection—far more than could fit on a single external hard drive. His solution was Unraid OS: a software that makes it possible to link multiple storage devices together—even if they’re different sizes, types, or from different brands.
Unraid continues to be the most flexible, easy-to-use NAS OS on the market, enabling sophisticated media aficionados, gamers, and other intensive data-users to have ultimate control over their data, media, applications, and desktops.
In 2019, Tom's daughter Tiffany joined the crew as a Co-CEO to continue building on the legacy that her Father created. You can hear more about the company's history and future plans on our podcast: The Uncast Show.
With headquarters in San Diego, California, Unraid OS is developed by Lime Technology, Inc.

A RAID array creates a single storage volume out of multiple hard drives to provide network attached storage—but there’s a catch: all the drives have to be the same. And you can’t add more without starting over.
An “Unraid” is the opposite. With Unraid OS, you can mix and match drives, securely store and share data, and manage VMs and Docker applications—all from one powerful, web-based interface.
Go ahead. Add a drive!
