Get Ready to Upgrade Your Storage - Unboxing the Game-Changing TrueNAS Mini-R!

The #TrueNAS Mini-R takes everything the mini family does right, rack mounts it, and adds more storage. With 12 full-sized, hot-swappable 3.5 disks, DOUBLE the RAM, 2x10GbE connectivity, and the ability to run TrueNAS Core OR TrueNAS SCALE, this system may very well be the ONLY hyper-converged storage, containers, and compute you need! iX was kind enough to give us a hands-on first look at the TrueNAS Mini-R and put it through its paces! In this video, we'll walk through an overview of the specs and dimensions, open it up and look inside, and run some basic SMB network read/write tests to see how well the Mini-R works. We'll be making MORE videos with the TrueNAS Mini-R in the future, so be sure to tell us what sorts of tests you'd love to see done! You can order the Mini-R with SCALE direct from iX if CORE isn't your OS of choice!
