TrueNAS Enterprise systems use components that are qualified and tested by the TrueNAS team to offer the best storage and performance with TrueNAS Enterprise Edition.

This guide will go over the minimum hardware requirements and offer suggestions for TrueNAS Community Edition users.

The heart of any storage system is the symbiotic pairing of the file system and physical storage devices. The ZFS file system in TrueNAS provides the best available data protection of any file system at any cost and makes effective use of spinning-disk storage, all-flash storage, or a mix of both. ZFS is prepared for the eventual failure of storage devices and is highly configurable to achieve the perfect balance of redundancy and performance to meet any storage goal. A properly configured TrueNAS system can tolerate multiple storage device failures and recreate its boot media with a copy of the configuration file.

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a power backup system that ensures continuous electricity during outages, preventing downtime and damage.

Connect the TrueNAS system to the UPS device. To configure the UPS service, go to System > Services, finding UPS, and click edit.

The Services > UPS screen settings specify connection, shutdown and other settings to configure UPS service for servers running TrueNAS.

Click edit to open the Services > UPS configuration screen.
