TrueNAS

““TrueNAS just works. We had systems up and running in no time.””

““You know what’s under the hood. And if something breaks, you’re not locked into someone else’s roadmap.””

““We couldn’t justify Tier-1 vendor pricing, but we still needed enterprise performance and support.””

““Even our entry-level TrueNAS unit outperformed the Dell arrays .””

““TrueNAS is easy to run, highly capable, and brings exceptional value. You can use old infrastructure or buy new. It’ll get the job done.””

““TrueNAS wasn’t just affordable, it was powerful and adaptable,” Michael says.”

““Once it’s set up, it just runs,” Michael says. “That’s what we love about it.””

“Don’t underestimate what ZFS can do once you really learn it. It’s flexible, reliable, and when configured properly, just works.”

“Data from cryo-EM and other advanced imaging platforms can overwhelm traditional storage setups almost overnight. You need solutions that scale and that won’t lock you into expensive licensing models.”

“I’d recommend TrueNAS to anyone doing large-scale backup, especially in scientific computing. If you’re managing petabytes of unstructured data, this is the right tool.”

“When we call support, it’s already a complex issue and your team matches us with the right engineer quickly.”

“One HBA failed. You walked us through it over the phone and got it swapped without downtime. The HA worked. I was super impressed.”

“You don’t nickel and dime us with capacity-based licensing. That is the number one thing that kills a product for us. Keeping data isn’t a profit center. It’s a liability. So taxing it is the death of a solution.”

“I learned how to do snapshot-based incremental backups with ZFS. We never have to walk file systems anymore. It’s an effective solution, and relatively easy to deploy and manage.”

““When you’re in production, you can’t have people waiting on files.””

““For the price point, the quality of support, and the ease of use, it’s really good.””

““With TrueNAS, I know my data is going to be there, and I know I’m not getting locked into something I can’t get out of later.””

““If you need something long-term, you have to consider a product with good vendor support and no surprises.””

““I think our oldest M40 is end-of-life. We don’t use it for production, but it still works 100 percent. Most vendors would cripple it. You wouldn’t even be allowed to update it.””

““TrueNAS is FIPS-certified, and that’s huge for us. I think they do the certification testing just a few floors above me.””

“It’s incredibly simple to manage…It doesn’t hide stuff. When anything goes wrong, I know how everything works. I don’t have to wait weeks for somebody to pick up a ticket.”

“The past few months have been night and day from what it was before.”

“Now we have a chance to be creative as opposed to being computer engineers.”

“You can access all these files and work alongside a team … without that domino effect.”

“Not once did they sell to us. They really took the time to understand why we needed what we needed.”
