How to Install TrueNAS CORE
Why TrueNAS CORE?
At the heart of any storage system is the symbiotic interaction 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 price and leverages both spinning disk and all-flash storage, or a mix of both, very effectively. ZFS is prepared for the eventuality of storage device failure. It is highly configurable to achieve a perfect balance between redundancy and performance to meet any storage objective.
A properly configured TrueNAS system can tolerate the failure of multiple storage devices and even rebuild its boot media with a copy of the configuration file.
