Hi All

I am very very new to this, so firstly apologies if this is the wrong place.
I have an old 2 bay Netgear Stora (its discontinued) - I like the small box and want to repurpose it.

(from what I am reading FreeNas is TrueNas, but correct me if I am wrong)

1. Is it possible to install TrueNas Core or FreeNas on the Netgear Stora?

If its possible
2. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks and appreciate any help with this

A quick google search suggests that the hardware in question is an integrated ARM board typical of low-end NAS units. Unfortunately, that means that TrueNAS (or really anything else) is a non-starter. You might be able to get something custom on the thing, but likely only with significant hacking. Even then, from its looks, the hardware isn't going to be able to handle much.
