Show me your datasets...

Hello, I purchased hardware for my first TrueNAS homelab server )

I would like to hear yours TrueNAS pool/datasets configurations for personal inspiration.

My goal would be one big datapool with many datasets, here the plan:

POOL

• Arcticles
  
  • GenreA
  • GenreB
  • ...
• Music
  
  • GenreA
  • GenreB
  • ..
• Photo
  
  • 2000
  • ...
  • 2022
• Movies
  
  • GenreA
  • GenreB
  • ...
• TRANSFER (SMB)
• PROJECTS (ENCRYPTED)

My existing data from my old Synology which has a bit different structure will be then migrated to TrueNAS.

1) How is my planned structure, any best practices, security/encryption per dataset, etc?

2) Which datasets have you created?
