Subject: Re: 6 reasons you should use Ubuntu for your own NAS
Thanks Alexander, Ted, and Rusty!!

I took a quick look at TrueNAS and it appears the boot drive is only for
booting?

I've got lots of 1TB and less drives so that would not be a problem.

I have a 10 year old Dell i5 4 cores/4 threads with 16GB of RAM, which
will take two drives. I also have an 8GB backup drive that I have never
used. I haven't opened the box. I got it on a very good sale so I
bought it. I could use that drive. I seem to recall that at some point
the bigger drivers would not work well with old hardware. I hope that
is not an issue.

My daily driver is also an old Dell running Kubuntu 24.04. I have a
Win10 laptop and my wife has a Win11 computer. I'd like to connect all
three.

Any thoughts are much appreciate!!

Thanks,
Keith
