I am looking at building a nas, the case I want is meant for that purpose but is mini-ITX, which I like because of the space saving, except the case has slots for 5 drives, while all of the ITX boards I have seen have only 4.

can I use a single 1 tb hard disk for media server [plex] and another 2 - 4 tb hard disk for data storage? which raid should I use for both ?

Great video!! I've tried following the steps and when it's time to restart the computer, it displays what would display if I hadn't installed truenas. Any ideas what would this be? Any info will be good thank you

Is it possible to use my NAS just as external HDD? I mean does it nead to be connected via dsl after installation? I would rather access my data via a USB cable as you would do with an external Drive.

so this is all happening on the nas machine correct? not using a separate computer? like we have to attach a monitor and the usb to the nas unit?

My only question is will the other drives(not the boot drive) data be wiped as well? I am running an Emby server with 2 drives, one for tv and one for movies

I would like to see what happens when 1 disk from a RAID 5 fails, and then how to do a HDD replacement without losing data, and how it rebuilds the array after the replacement disk has been installed.

Hello hello there thanks for awesome video, is this install is made on a VM thanks so much.

Hey I tried to install TrueNAS to my old pc and I struggle to boot it of the SSD I decided to use for TrueNAS. Installing TrueNAS wasn't an issue but getting my system to boot of the dedicated drive is. The SSD drive is work (I ran windows on that just the day before without any issues). Does somebody know a solution to this problem?

Me: "Ok, let's make that old laptop a NAS. Woohooo! Let's go" TrueNAS: "You need at least two disks, 8GB of RAM and Wifi is not supported." Me: "Ok! Let's forget about NAS and take that old Laptop to the trash! What an experience! Woohoo!"

While we cannot recommend it, we have had users run TrueNAS on 4GB systems before. Although, because 4GB of RAM is below the recommended specifications to run TrueNAS we cannot guarantee stability.

I have a weird problem. I installed TrueNAS Core to my i3-3217u laptop with 8GB ram and i7-4790k desktop with 16GB ram. After installation(4:43), rebooted. But both computers cannot find the installed SSD; the error message says missing booting hardware or files. In BIOS, I cannot find the SSD that I installed TrueNAS. I installed "Boot via UEFI". Doesn't work. So installed "Boot via BIOS" again. Still doesn't boot; booting HDD cannot be detected. However (1), TrueNAS "SCALE" and OMV were installed and booting without any problem. (But I want TrueNAS CORE.) However (2), I installed TrueNAS CORE on another 16GB USB flash memory stick(SanDisk) instead of the Samsung SSD 840 Evo. My system detects the USB memory, and TrueNAS CORE boots OK. I don't know why my computer detects a USB flash memory that TrueNAS Core installed, but not SSD that TrueNAS Core installed.

Install but wont boot, no bootable device found???

i chose install then it hangs on a screen with a text cursor and nothing else

when i put usb my pc totally freeze and can select nothing

When trying to install from USB, I keep getting "Secure boot invalid signature detected. check secure boot policy in setup". I have not had this problem with other OS installs. I found a suggestion in the forum to disable secure boot, but that does not sound good. If my hardware is not compatible, than it would be better to get a message indicating that instead of my BIOS screaming that something is fishy, especially when these days everyone is telling you to be very serious about security...

It’s because you have existing keys from an old OS install. You should only have to delete the existing ones / reset secure boot in BIOS. If that’s not an option, disable it during install and re-enable after install. It’s not an issue with TrueNAS or anything they need to change lol
