Pools
2 minute read.
Last Modified 2022-08-03 12:28 EDTTrueNAS uses ZFS data storage pools to efficiently store and protect data.
We strongly recommend users review the available system resources and plan the storage use case before creating a storage pool.
- Allocating more drives to a pool increases redundancy when storing critical information.
- Maximizing total available storage at the expense of redundancy or performance entails allocating large-volume disks and configuring a pool for minimal redundancy.
- Maximizing pool performance entails installing and allocating high-speed SSD drives to a pool.
Determining your specific storage requirements is a critical step before creating a pool.
The articles in this section provide information on setting up system storage, which includes adding, importing or mananging pools, adding or managing datasets and zvols.
