How Does Unraid Work and What is it?

Unraid is a network-attached storage operating system. Unraid lets you create, manage, and delete shared folders, and run applications (even create and run Docker containers). Unraid isn’t a traditional hypervisor, but it gives you the ability to create virtual machines if needed. Unraid is incredibly user-friendly in my opinion. From my experience, a lot of NAS operating systems are confusing when you first set them up, but Unraid makes sense, meaning that you’ll get used to it quickly. Please keep in mind that Unraid is not free, so you must purchase a license based on the number of hard dri

Unraid vs. TrueNAS: NAS Operating System Comparison
What is TrueNAS and How Does it Work?

TrueNAS is an operating system based on the OpenZFS file system. There are actually two different versions of TrueNAS: TrueNAS Core and TrueNAS Scale. TrueNAS Core has been available since 2005 (formerly known as FreeNAS) and is based on FreeBSD. TrueNAS Scale was released in 2022 and is based on Debian-Linux. They’re both similar, but different at the same time, so I urge you to learn about their differences if you decide to use TrueNAS. Regardless of which version you use, TrueNAS is open-source and free, unlike Unraid.
