TrueNAS Hardware Guide
From repurposed systems to highly custom builds, the fundamental freedom of TrueNAS is the ability to run it on almost any x86 computer.
| Processor | Memory | Boot Device | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Core Intel 64-Bit or AMD x86_64 processor | 8 GB memory | 16 GB SSD boot device | Two identically-sized devices for a single storage pool |
The TrueNAS installer recommends 8 GB of RAM. TrueNAS installs, runs, and operates jails (in TrueNAS 13). It also hosts SMB shares and replicates TBs of data with less. The TrueNAS team recommends the above for better performance and fewer issues.
UPS
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a power backup system that ensures continuous electricity during outages, preventing downtime and damage.
TrueNAS uses NUT (Network UPS Tools) to provide UPS support. For supported device and driver information, see their hardware compatibility list. Further device-specific compatibility information is available from the NUT Devices Dumps Library.
Report UPS bugs and feature requests to the NUT project.
Connect the TrueNAS system to the UPS device. To configure the UPS service, go to System > Services, finding UPS, and click edit.
UPS Services Screen
The Services > UPS screen settings specify connection, shutdown and other settings to configure UPS service for servers running TrueNAS.
