TrueNAS is one of my favorite platforms for storage, virtualization, and self-hosting—and in this video, I break down five reasons why I love TrueNAS and why it continues to be a top choice for homelabs and production environments alike.
We’ll take a look at TrueNAS deployment flexibility, including how easy it is to run on everything from a small home server to enterprise-grade hardware. I’ll explain why ZFS and data integrity are such a big deal, what I love about the UI, some of my favorite features – and more!
Whether you’re building a homelab, running a media server, or managing business storage, this video explains why TrueNAS stands out from other NAS and storage solutions—and why I keep coming back to it.
If you’re interested in ZFS, self-hosted storage, containers, or open-source infrastructure, this one’s for you.
