External USB Disk Encrypted with BitLocker
It seems that there is a project named dislocker that is able to mount bit locker encrypted NTFS partitions. I'm not sure how you would use it on unRAID directly has I don't know which dependency it needs in addition to fuse but you could always try to download the binaries and test it. Otherwise, you can install it easily on any Linux VM if you already got one

And so it begins. Im debating on weather to go BTRFS or NTFS.
