I haven't seen you posting about how to solve the issues you listed, so I'm getting a strange vibe about this thread (you started questioning right away the validity of the product instead of asking how to make things work).
Sorry, you meant historically. Well that's simple before I post I research and learn. I posted a year or so back with question and system specs at which point I took sometime to read up on and fiddle with ZFS before diving into TrueNAS. Also at that point SCALE didn't have a stable release yet.
I'll rarely post for technical help tbh (which this was thread wasn't meant as, the question was functional).
