Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Install TrueNAS Scale as the NAS operating system.
  • Running on TrueNAS SCALE, ZRAID1 with the 3TB as a hot spare.
  • Hi, I'm finally done with my 4 Bay NAS using a Lenovo M920Q running with Truenas Scale. I'm really impressed to see how many things these tiny pc can handle.
  • I haven't had any disconnection issues with the d4-320 and it supported individual drive serial passthrough, so TrueNAS didn't give any issues either.
  • It'll be used mainly for my home backup - I'll just install TrueNAS Scale there.

Cons

  • I already had ZFS pools from old FreeBSD (not TrueNAS Core) deployment, that I had issue importing into TrueNAS SCALE. ... But, TrueNAS does conflict a lot if you have already established datasets and does not like capital letter dataset...
  • it's got Rocket 750 HBAs that TrueNAS Scale doesn't have drivers for, so I'm stuck on TrueNAS Core 13 until I do a complete rebuild.
  • OS TrueNAS Scale
  • a standalone Supermicro storage server ran TrueNAS Scale with 12TB of SSD storage
  • OS: TrueNAS Scale w/ HexOS
