TrueNAS if you care about your data

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

After exploring lots of other options and coming quite close to making a bad decision, I was able to avoid compromise and buy a TrueNAS system for my storage needs. I'm using this for software engineering support but the bulk of the usage is video production where TrueNAS both stores the data coming off of cameras but is also referenced by the NLE when doing all the edits/prints.

Pros

Peace of mind (ZFS)
Integration with Mac and Linux machines (SMB and NFS)
Time Machine backup service was a plus I didn't expect

Cons

DLNA services could be better for serving video assets (Plex integration is good, but complicated)
Built-in dashboards aren't super well-organized

Likelihood to Recommend

TrueNAS is ideal for anyone who wants to store data without worrying too much.

The only area where TrueNAS isn't as ideal is if you're trying to prioritize budget over data safety.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

If you just want it to work and be expandable without having to reference dozens of help files and web pages to get it configured, try TrueNAS.

TrueNAS provided an automatic solution after the team spent several days trying to make other solutions work on top of RedHat. Configuration and control is a breeze through the web-based GUI, and it is easy to expand the storage and add other applications to the Jails.

Pros

Easy to manage users and access to different shares
Shares remount natively under Windows11 and xNIX derivatives, providing easy integration
Jails let you try other applications on the server without affecting NAS operations

Likelihood to Recommend

Backup (continuous and incremental) and file sharing. Also using to share video training as Plex Server.
