Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS

I've been using TrueNAS for a bit now, and honestly, it's a game-changer for me. Before diving into TrueNAS, I was juggling external drives like it was my job. Enter TrueNAS, and suddenly, all my storage woes seem like a thing of the past.
A few reasons I like it are:

Find My Stuff: Everything’s in one place. Movies, music, work files – you name it. I can get to it from any device at home, which is super handy.

ZFS is Magic: Heard about ZFS? It's this techy thing that basically makes sure my data doesn’t get corrupted. Knowing my files are safe is a big relief.It Grows with You: Started with just a couple of old drives I had lying around. As I needed more space, adding more was a breeze.

Snapshots keep several versions of your files so you get a layer of protection incase things go really bad. Which is a huge +
  • Snashots for data protection
  • Easy to setup
  • Streaming media
  • Upgradability
  • Features
  • Initial setup
  • How to setup Jails (In general)
  • R Sync
  • non either way we simply use it internally
Synology and QNAP both felt to basic after trying TrueNAS, while NetApp and Fujitsu where both expensive and I wasn't convinced we would A utilize or need all the features and furthermore all the things we where going to use seemed to be something that TrueNAS simply did better.

Do you think TrueNAS delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with TrueNAS's feature set?

Yes

Did TrueNAS live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of TrueNAS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy TrueNAS again?

Yes

Any mild short comings are more things that take a little more work rather than big deal breakers. Simply put its possibly the best system that just works all the times and allows you to get into it for home Lab and extend that knowledge to the work force which is a HUGE deal!
