Instant remedy : just replug this NAS controller to any PC/server, Files can be access instantly

Why use TrueNAS firmware as NAS ?

1. Industrial standard, open standard. can work on most type of computer
2. ZFS file system
3. Many backup/data sync options
4. Full pathway of upgrade (from Core->Scale->Enterprise->HA->clustering ...)
5. support wide range of protocols
6. many add on applications
7. the world’s most popular storage OS, many NAS features

 

 

TrueNAS Core: Experience Storage Freedom TrueNAS® CORE (formerly known as FreeNAS®) is the world’s most popular storage OS because it gives you the power to build your own professional-grade storage system to use in a variety of data-intensive applications without any software costs. Simply install it onto hardware or a VM and experience the true storage freedom of open source storage.

TrueNAS Open Storage is a universal data platform with three Editions to choose from: CORE, Enterprise, and SCALE. For recommendations on the right Edition for you based on software maturity
