I just purchased my first NAS and had some questions

Post by anatolewilson »

I've heard about different OS's you can install onto a NAS, but I was curious what you all would recommend for a first time NAS owner (moving away from a windows plex media server). Is TrueNAS SCALE better than TOS 6 or should I not even worry about that and just stick with TOS and run Plex on it? What are the benefits of one or the other? Thanks for any advise you can offer!

The answer may depend on which device you have purchased. (Of course, this sort of question would be best asked before purchase ;) )
F5-221 TOS7.0.0777 - 4x4TB (Ironwolf) Traid
F2-424 TOS7.0.0777 - 2x500GB nvme (P3) Traid, 2x6TB HDD (HGST) Traid
F2-221 TOS7.0.0777 - 1x3TB Ext4, 1x4TB Btrfs
