Maybe.Do you feel like dealing with it? great, do it. If you're me who has built more than enough computers in their lifetime at this point that just getting one in the box you can open, plug in, turn on and start moving data onto it, this is for you.This unit will come installed (as of April 2022) with the TrueNAS Core product on a M2 device on the system board. I personally replaced it with the newer TrueNAS Scale so I could use the linux based newer solution. Was a simple process.One Caveat - due to the fact this is a ZFS based solution some things in other NAS will not be here. You can't expand an array after you create it. So for example if you buy four drives, and then buy another four you can't add them to the existing array they have to make another one. I missed that note and bought four drives, and then bought an additional one a month later and discovered that after the fact.The Read and Write Cache's are a decent investment. One fits in an internal slot and the other plugs into the 2.5" slot along the top. Comes with plenty of screws to mount hard drives to the internal slide in brackets. Included two ethernet cables, power cords, and came extremely well packaged in custom foam. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Right Choice. *by S***N on August 26, 2023* QNAP and Synology are going to push you hard and they're going to look appealing, but in the end? This is the one you want. The quality, performance, security, lack of lock-in, and just...all of it, is so much better than anything you're going to get from the other two. I know it's a bit of a bullet to bite, but if you have data you need to store and don't want to put it in just some brick, this is the NAS you should get. I made the switch after my QNAP was hit with ransomware due to unpatched vulnerabilities that I couldn't even address and this machine has been an absolute god send. 10/10 could not recommend more. I will never go with QNAP again and I'm sorry that I did in the first place. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not cheap but worth the price *by R***H on April 28, 2023* What you get for your money is a neatly presented relatively low (thermal) power server with plenty of capacity to run a home NAS using a Truenas operating system, and some useful other server functions either virtualised or as FreeBSD jails. As well as saving the cost and effort of finding a case with good thermal properties and 8 3.5" drive bays it also uses an excellent Supermicro motherboard which itself is expensive and hard to obtain in Europe, and you have the peace of mind of knowing that all the components will work reliably together. There is some technical hardware support, and endless community support for the operating system. In summary, not cheap but worth it for the time saved and peace of mind.PS I see some reviewers have complained that the disks run hot. As supplied, I found the same. I don't have air conditioning (not being in America despite the heading on this review). In the IPMI menu (and possibly also in BIOS setup - I haven't checked) there is a menu for Fan mode, and if you change this to "heavy IO" the disks in my case run 10Β°C cooler, about 32Β°C with an ambient about 25Β°C. Of course, this is at the cost of louder fan noise. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/227429803-truenas-mini-xl-compact-zfs-storage-server-with-8-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/227429803-truenas-mini-xl-compact-zfs-storage-server-with-8-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
