What exactly IS the iXsystems TrueNAS Mini series? Isn't TrueNAS free? That is a good question and worth looking into a little. I think it has crossed the mind of even the most loosely experienced NAS user that building your own NAS from scratch has always been an option. Things have moved FAST in the world of NAS (as does all of the technology of course) and whereas a decade ago building your own private server was difficult, required intense command/code knowledge and drought with technical hurdles, now building your own NAS and have premium-grade software is CONSIDERABLY easier.

Thank you so much for this video. It was just what I was looking for.
I would never have purchase my Qnap tvs-h1288x-w With out your videos. Thanks for posting!! Very good info.
Same here, same model. Love it
Wow, spot on the point. Great video, one of the best meaningfull comparations I ever seen. great job!
Very appreciated comparison, thank you!
I have a QNAP running since 2009... no problems with the hardware, just had to replace a couple of HDs.
The system is out of support, so there are no more updates to to QoS for me.
I found out about the security issues by accident, and also watched the security related video from Tom of Lawrence Systems.
Currently tossing my options...
Great video by the way!
Truenas mini are awsome
@Necrolatry And it's free and open source !
The turnkey vs build-it-yourself argument is as old as the earliest PCs and later IBM clones. I purchased the TVS-h1688x which is way overkill for my house but it allows me future flexibility and the ability to sunset an ancient Dell I have from a data center running Windows Server. I have easily set up the same thing on a VM and it’s faster now. I did investigate the TrueNAS route but at the end of the day, I didn’t want to spend the time tinkering and I just wanted something that would just work without an extreme amount of effort. It hasn’t been perfect…I bought the thing right before QuTS Hero 5 debuted and I’ve been riding those bugs ever since. It has gotten better in the last couple of months. There are also at least one third party app that I wanted to run in my QNAP that is not a thing on TrueNAS. I do think that TrueNAS won’t be as susceptible to ransomware since I doubt a lot of small businesses are investing in it like QNAP or Synology.
I have 2 QNAP rack mount servers, an 8 slot + a 12 slot expansion chassis, and a second 12 slot server. The oldest just became very unreliable hardware wise (not disks, or expansion chasis, they are all fine) and the newer one has always been a bit flaky in the hardware department which support tried to help with. What I don't like is QNAP just decided to quit providing system updates to the old one, then along comes all the hacking and security issues. I am currently considering options of a Truenas system or to go with a new QNAP system.
I am looking for an inexpensive NAS that has only one or two drives that has an HDMI port so that it can play videos directly from it onto the TV instead of over the network. This NAS will be sitting below the large TV in the family room. I currently have a Synology NAS that does this task but playing videos from it on the TV is cumbersome.
The Asustor AS5202T seems to be the cheapest NAS that can do this (or does it?) because it has an HDMI port, but it has the two 2.5Gbit network ports when I only need 1 port. It also costs $300. I am looking for a NAS that does this that is less than $200.
By the way, does the Asustor AS5202T support trunking or link aggregation so that both of its network ports can combine to increase its network speed to 5Gbit when plugged into a network switch that supports trunking?
Go watch the recent take of QNAP NASes from Tom of Lawrence Systems before you make your purchases. Btw, no short term deployment of TrueNAS users can fully understand the beauty of TrueNAS. TrueNAS are in fact more “commercial” than a QNAP.
I have a TS-h973AX, bought mainly on account it enables using ZFS. The dumb thing I found out later as a long time freenas/truenas user is you can't setup the system-dataset to another pool. So now with 5 spinning HDD's as a RAIDZ1 pool every 5 seconds those drives are hit (noise!) with an update of the systemlog on the system dataset. On freenas/truenas you can direct the system dataset to a SSD pool. Maybe I'm missing something...
AFAIK the system volume is automatically the first volume you're creating. Thus, you should first create e.g. a RAID1 SSD pool, and postpone creating the HDD pool later. If you didn't do that, the only option is to reinitialize the NAS, starting from scratch :(
Although QNAP is keeping system data on all volumes/disks, and a lot of people complain about disks being accessed and/or not allowed to sleep.
@@alexsarbu3978 Thanks, but I think you mean the system volume where QNAP OS and apps reside. This indeed is on the first RaidZ1 SSD volume created. But the system dataset where metadata and syslog info goes to is on every pool created, also later ones. At least on my system, hence the constant 5 sec. rambling of the disks (and blinking led's for ssd pools, those are pretty silent by nature;-)
@@richardderkx6674 Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for the clarifications, I know what you're talking about. Lots of people angry about it!
But the 5 sec. rambling... is it QNAP? I've bought a new WD Red Plus HDD, and... it "clicks", quite strongly, every 5 seconds. It's a "feature" called PWL (Preventive Wear Leveling) and it can't be disabled; and I think Seagate has something similar, too. But that doesn't explain the SSDs, so it is probably QNAP.
Anyway, few weeks ago I've created a Feature Request ticket with QNAP, asking to have the option of *not* storing the "system dataset" on user specified volumes/pools. Which I think it's reasonable. I'm not holding my breath to see it implemented, though.
Is there a NAS that can also like a DAS? Basically devices on the network can connect to it over the network, but it can also has a USB port that can connect to a TV or a streaming appliance like Roku so videos from the NAS can play videos directly from it as an external harddrive?
I know qnap devices have a usb for this function solely. I have a 673 and I believe the x72 series can do that as well. It works by giving the thé connected device an IP address. But it’s not true DAS though. It will work with windows Mac Linux but not sure about other OS like roku, etc. But pretty sure fire tv with a file browser would work.
Have you reviewed XigmaNAS software vs TrueNAS in the past? Could be informative
I'm afraid not, but I'll look into it. Cheers for the heads up
No mention that ZFS is not 100% licensed for Linux and what that means for the future.
The reason I chose TrueNAS over any of the Linux based boxes is FreeBSD is simply not the target of malware that Linux is.
I'm researching to buy/build my first nas, your comment make me curious about this
wouldn't TrueNas make the prime target for Ransomware?
@@blacksnow7106 Why do you say that? Hackers use Ransonware tools and there are many more tools for Linux than BSD and there are orders of magnitude more Linux systems than BSD to attack. This is why I believe TrueNAS FreeBSD based systems are safer from hackers than Linux systems.
@@KB3M well my line of thinking is that while not a lot of people use Truenas, most if not all of those would be highly valuable targets and make it worthwhile to try to aim for Truenas OS.
Edit: specifically for ransomware attacks that is. Other kinds of attack don't really make that much sense to aim for truenas
@@blacksnow7106 Yes but still far more high value targets using Linux, plus high value targets usually mean well protected systems. Linux includes cheaper prosumer devices from Qnap and Synology that are super numerous and less protected. I feel BSD systems are so few and mainly managed by professionals that its not worth the effort.
@@KB3M Same argument has been used by the Mac crowd and by the Linux crowd and was proven to be false sense of security in both of those cases even before Mac had boomed with Air and Linux boomed with Android.
Arguably FreeBSD is harder to malware than Linux, fair enough. But 'not enough of a target' (paraphrasing) claim is nonsensical in a world where spreading malware to millions of machines and waiting to see what sticks is so easy and lucrative. Maybe you might call it 'not enough of a target', but a ransomware writer might just deem it 'a niche'. Tomato tomato.
