Just really needed a NAS

As the title says, I just really needed a NAS to store video files and to someday automize backups.
I opted for TrueNAS Scale due to its system requirements and my greater comfort with Linux compared to BSD. The server I used was a Shuttle with a Core 2 Duo processor and 8GB of DDR3 1066 RAM.

The setup was straightforward. I configured a simple RAID Z1 using two 1TB HDDs and created a user with access to it.

Ultimately, I decommissioned the server due to reliability issues with the hardware. Additionally, I had the opportunity to acquire an old QNAP 1U server.
