Infinite Possibilities
Ideal for file sharing, data backup, multimedia processing and distribution, video surveillance, edge/remote office, development, personal cloud and other small/home office and SMB applications.
Ransomware Protection and Data Protection
At the heart of TrueNAS is the enterprise-grade, self-healing OpenZFS file system. Combined with advanced tools like built-in RAID, snapshots, encryption, and Bitrot detection, TrueNAS Minis provide ultimate protection against data loss, corruption, and ransomware.
Shared use
Easily create file shares, set permissions, and perform maintenance from a single web browser. TrueNAS Mini supports all major file and block protocols and is designed to run unobtrusively in any existing home or office environment. Just plug in and go, it just works.
Small but Mighty
Just because a NAS is small doesn’t mean it has to be underpowered. TrueNAS Minis have the hardware power to outperform any compact NAS on the market, and caching SSDs can be added to boost read and write performance even further. All while maintaining high energy efficiency.
More than just storage with plugins and VMs
Extend the capabilities of your Mini with a variety of free plugins with TrueNAS CORE or VMs and containers with TrueNAS SCALE (Help Me Choose) to meet a variety of needs from shared media hosting to private cloud management.
Deduplication
Data deduplication is a process that optimizes disk space usage by avoiding duplicate copies of data. Files are scanned and analyzed for duplicates before they are written to disk. This process is resource intensive and can severely impact performance if the system does not have cache devices or sufficient memory available.
Snapshots and Clones
Create and save snapshots of the entire file system as needed, or schedule the process to reduce overhead. In the event of a malware attack or user error, administrators can roll back the system to an uninfected state, and recovery takes seconds, not days. Snapshots can be replicated to another TrueNAS system to create a remote backup in the event of a fire or catastrophic hardware failure. Users can easily manage, delete, copy, and monitor saved snapshots through the web UI.
Writable snapshots or clones are just as easy to create and allow data and files to be restored. Just like regular snapshots, clones are space-efficient, and only changed files take up storage space.
Encryption
Protect your data from prying eyes – TrueNAS is the first and only open source project to offer encryption on ZFS volumes! Encrypted volumes can only be read by a TrueNAS system that holds the master key for that volume. Rest assured knowing that if you have an old hard drive, no one will be able to access the files as long as the master keys are destroyed. For additional security, an optional passphrase can be enabled to add a layer of security to your entire system.
Copy-on-Write
All blocks in the ZFS file system contain a checksum of the destination block, which is verified when the block is read. Blocks that contain active data are never overwritten. Instead, a new block is allocated and data is written to it. This means that when data is stored, data is never overwritten to ensure data integrity.
Why do we use ZFS?
TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS), the world’s most popular open source storage operating system, uses the ZFS file system to protect all your important data. ZFS is an enterprise-level open source file system and volume manager that offers unparalleled flexibility and commitment to data integrity. It is a next-generation file system that removes most, if not all, of the limitations of legacy file systems and hardware RAID.
With over 8.5 million downloads, more people have trusted TrueNAS and ZFS to back up their data than any other open source storage software in the world.
More than just storage
Extend the capabilities of your TrueNAS Mini with a variety of free plugins using TrueNAS CORE or VMs and containers using TrueNAS SCALE to meet a variety of needs. From shared media hosting to private cloud management, TrueNAS makes it possible.
