UNRAID Vs TRUENAS: Which Home Server NAS Is Best?
Is UNRAID or TRUENAS the ULTIMATE Home NAS? We are going to find out today as we evaluate UNRAID 6.12.1 and TrueNAS 22.12.3.1 in a battery of tests and score the results. We evaluate the Ease of TrueNAS Scale setup and UnRAID setup to start. Then we go over how to create a share in Truenas and Setup Shares in Unraid. We use a 10Gbit home network to measure SMB write performance and get very important results. Evaluating the build in UnRAID and TrueNAS docker app stores is next and then we score the virtualization setup for each home server NAS. At the end, I present some various hardware ideas that make better sense than the Dell R520 I am using here, but if you have hardware, I urge you to consider the reuse of that hardware vs buying new.
