Hello, 

I am new to the TrueNAS community. I started setting up my NAS, not easy at first, but I'm getting along slowly!

I had my pools set up properly, and now I wanted to see how to have a proper workflow by dropping my pictures/videos from work to the NAS using the USB and SD card in the front, but the option to mount it has apparently been removed a few years ago...

Is there any easy solution to transfer files quickly? It is very frustrating because it would let me use the USB from my docking station to work on other things, and if I want to transfer from the docking station, it doesn’t really use a good speed even though the MacBook is connected with a 10GBps Ethernet cable.

I saw the possibility to do it with the Shell, but that's not an option, it's not ergonomic at all.

I hope you can help!

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I’m thinking about getting the Ugreen DX4800 Plus as my main files system to edit photos & videos for my clients through 10gbps network.

I’d like to install also an app via container to have my clients reviewing files.

Since the NAS comes with 8gb I would like to know how good it is tu run what I need?
I will probably add an SSD to have my running project and then move it to my HDD when the deliverables has been validated. And also an extra 8gb of ram.

I hope you can help me on that!
Thanks

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a custom DIY NAS build, but I have a specific setup in mind and would love a quick check because I’ve never done one. I’m used to build different kind of desktop but never done more complicated than that.

I want something modular that I can completely disassemble and flat-pack into a suitcase. Plus, I want full control to upgrade hardware and expand into other home lab projects later on.

Main Use Case & Concept:
Workflow: Editing photos in Lightroom and video projects in DaVinci Resolve directly from my MacBook Pro over a fast connection with 10gbps Ethernet.

Build Idea:
A 10" mini-rack frame
Rack 4–6 HDDs
NVMe SSD for fast working cache
Main question here: what hardware system should I use? Mini thinkcenter or HP computer? How made hardware, but in this case is there empty desktop case as rack?
Also, how do I cool down the HDD? Is it going to be very noisy without closed case?

I love the idea of a mini home lab since I love working on these kind of electronics projects but I’m not sure it makes sense.
I might want to host services as well in the future or even website for my clients etc.

I would appreciate a lot some brighter mind that me to help me with this idea.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!
Just change my OS from Bazzite to SteamOS (that was the original plan) and I took back home my Oculus Rift S, I didn’t think about it but I just noticed that it’s not compatible on Linux, is there a chance that an update will make it possible once the new Steam Frane is out?

For now I use windows with dual boot to use it but I’d prefer to get all my game at the same place 👌🏻

Hi,

I actually have Bazzite as my main OS with windows for dual boot.
Now that SteamOS 3.8 has been official I want to switch Bazzite to SteamOS, since I heard SteamOS doesn’t support Dual Boot very well I was wondering if I could simply unplug my SSD with windows, install SteamOS normally and replug the Windows SSD to have access to it at startup if needed?

Or is it more complicated than that?
