⇒ Overview of AOOSTAR WTR Pro on *BSD

Finding a NAS that provides NVMe and SATA storage while being tiny enough to sit in my 10" rack, have a CPU that’s not hogging, use a small amount of watts and offers usage of a non-proprietary OS is not simple. Especially when you have the “must run any BSD” to the equation.

⇒ FreeCORE is What Your TrueNAS CORE Box Should Have

iXsystems put TrueNAS CORE into what it called a sustaining engineering phase back in 2024. Under this, the open source NAS operating system would only receive security and stability fixes, with new features going to the Linux-based SCALE branch instead. (...) It traces directly back through TrueNAS CORE to FreeNAS, and it's built on the same foundation CORE always used: FreeBSD and OpenZFS. The current stable release is 15.0-U1.3, and it is aimed at TrueNAS CORE holdouts.
