The Smartest Storage for Your Home or Small Business

In a world where data keeps growing and cloud subscriptions keep getting more expensive, TrueNAS offers a smarter way to secure, store, and access your files. Built on the ultra-reliable ZFS file system, TrueNAS gives you enterprise-grade protection with snapshots, self-healing, and encrypted backups—all running on your own hardware. Whether you’re safeguarding family photos or managing business projects, TrueNAS brings you a fast, private, and safe storage solution without monthly fees.

Pair it with Nextcloud and you get your very own private cloud: sync files across devices, access them anywhere, share with clients or family, back up mobile photos automatically, and collaborate securely. From everyday home users to growing small businesses, TrueNAS delivers flexibility, reliability, and unbelievable value. It’s your data—TrueNAS helps you take control of it.

What Makes TrueNAS Stand Out?

TrueNAS is built on ZFS, one of the most advanced file systems available. ZFS provides unmatched data integrity, protection against bit-rot, deduplication, snapshots, and replication—capabilities normally found only in large enterprise storage systems. With an intuitive interface and strong hardware flexibility, TrueNAS can run on everything from a small home-built server to a high-performance business appliance.

Perfect for Home Users: Centralized, Private, and Secure

For families, hobbyists, and smart home users, TrueNAS provides:

Central storage for all devices (PCs, laptops, phones)

Automatic photo backup from iOS/Android

Personal media streaming with Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby

Built-in snapshot protection to recover deleted or modified files

Quiet, low-power hardware options ideal for home setups

It gives you your own private cloud—no subscription fees, no external data tracking, and complete control over your files.

Small businesses need reliability, security, and simplicity—TrueNAS delivers exactly that:

Centralized backup for PCs, servers, databases, and virtual machines

Encrypted storage for sensitive information
