Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS

I setup TrueNAS Scale on a decommissioned engineering desktop I salvaged from being recycled in order to replace a 15 year old NAS appliance that was being decommissioned. It was incredibly simple to install and get going off the bat. I've had no performance issues with my setup, and am pleasantly surprised with the various applications (containers) I was able to get up and running with relative ease having never used a TrueNAS system before. I can't wait to really get into the weeds and test out the more advanced features of the system (potentially even serving as a sandbox hypervisor environment)!
  • Ease of setup
  • Flexibility of hardware options
  • Performance
  • Learning curve for some features
  • Containerization
  • Virtualization
  • Cost efficiency
  • Ease of setup
  • Cost to performance is incredible (especially if you can recycle a desktop to set it up on)
