I want to create a NAS for my family at home. I am already pretty sure about using TrueNAS as software, but the hardware is still open.
What hardware do you recommend for 2TB of usable Storage (+a second drive for mirroring the first one) that is used by 3 people for pictures, videos, and documents?
Probably just go with SSD storage because 2T is fairly low for hard drives these days. Still a pretty good idea to do a mirror.
Pretty much any CPU that isn’t a raspberry pi will comfortably max out a gigabit Ethernet connection.
Also have a backup plan.
HDD has 100x the storage capacity vs SSD. What are you talking about?
100x ? Did you sleep for 15 years?
A 2tb SATA SSD has a comparable price to a 4tb SATA SSD.
If it wasn’t for the Al bubble the prices would be even lower
OP asked for 2TB and that’s easily done with SSD these days
…What are you talking about?
