Hey there,

Just joined, never used TrueNAS or FreeNAS before. Currently building out a system to replace my slow Synology DS1817+!

Hi! There's a pretty steep learning curve, but you are going to love TrueNAS. A couple of things to get you started...

There are some gotchas for newbies e.g. if you're serious, ECC RAM is a must, Xeon support ECC, Core i7 doesn't, avoid SMR disks, etc. Before you buy any h/w, post your intended component list on the forum and get some feedback from the h/w folk here.

Read the forum rules to get acquainted with the forum do's and don'ts. ...

Thanks! I already made a post, just waiting on moderation. I feel pretty good about what I have chosen, just need those darn drives to drop in price!

I think my biggest issue will be replacing HyperBackup on the NAS, thats some great software Synology has made
