Now that ZFS and TrueNAS Scale can extend pools I’m struggling to think of a compelling reason to recommend Unraid over TrueNAS Scale.
They both can
- all kinds of shares, SMB, NFS, iSCSI
- add drives to expand pools
- support for VMs
- support for Docker
- support for Apps
TrueNAS Scale is free (FOSS) while Unraid requires a subscription. TrueNAS also doesn’t have the USB drive install requirement and it can be easily virtualized, e.g. on Proxmox.
So it has to be asked, why would one not use or recommend TrueNAS Scale in late 2024? If you are setting up a new NAS in late 2024, and not using TrueNAS, what are you choosing and for what reasons?
