Building A Budget NAS with TrueNAS Scale

CORRECTIONS: - at 2:18, I mention using identical drives. It seems like many people actually recommend using slightly different drives, or at least drives that weren’t made at roughly the same time to better avoid both drives failing within a short time span of one another. - at 11:20, I use cloudflare’s DNS(), but this might cause issues with certain routers. Use your router’s IP address here as well. I decided to give TrueNAS Scale a try on the HP Pavilion 500-c60 (I called it the 500-a60 in previous videos, which is essentially the same model). --------------------------------------------------- Music (in order): “Hardware Haven Theme“ - Me “Sunshower“ - LATASHÁ() “If you want to“ - Me “CRENSHAW VIBES“ - GARRISON () “The Butterfly Nose“ - GARRISON --------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:32 The System 1:34 What I’d Like To Beat 1:50 Upgrades 3:43 Some Issues Issues 4:33 Disclaimer 5:01 Installation 8:37 Setting an IP Address 11:33 Credentials - Group 12:08 Credentials - User 12:48 Creating a Pool and Dataset 14:34 Setting up SMB 17:00 Notes on Apps, VMs 17:22 Protection and Backup 18:02 Synology Comparisons 20:17 Closing Thoughts
