How to build a DIY NAS from an OLD PC [0$-50$] Budget | TrueNAS

#trueNAS #BudgetNAS #DIYNAS
Our video today is building a Home DIY NAS with a limited budget. We can start from a 0$-50$ budget depending on what is available around us. We don't need to spend money if we have an old pc that can meet the requirements for us to be able to get a NAS up and running, however, if it needs to be upgraded we need to buy some parts to upgrade it, otherwise, we can also buy old pc on eBay that is like mine with a budget of 30$-50$. We will be using TrueNAS as the operating system. I will guide you from step one until your Home Nas is ready to use. Have fun and enjoy.

[@johnchausow4857]

I just turned my 9 year old gaming rig from highschool into a NAS with this video. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@GeikoTreyarch]

How is your electric bill? Did it rise from power consumption?

[@huntermorris1649]

Out of all videos this man right here has walked me thru this step by step. I tried other videos but all has failed leading me to restarting each time. This man knows his stuff and did an amazing job. 10/10 good sir.

[@jerriecan]

I just wanted to thank you so much for this! I tried to set up a pc using TrueNAS last year and got totally lost, this video was absolutely a godsend in letting me get it working - a couple successful hours, compared to a week of failure. Thank you again!

[@mariembuenaventura1278]

Thank you so much, sir. We've setup TrueNAS but for production, it's kinda buggy sometimes. The forum community is very hands-on in helping.

[@smidjepeter]

No questions, everything was explained! And certainly I learned from this video, my subscription to your channel was certainly not in vain !! Thank you very much for this explanation. This weekend I'm making a nas system!! 😉

[@name2144]

One of the BEST videos about setup TrueNAS. Thanks a lot!

[@bluetorch13]

this is 100% the information I needed to start, and popped as first video. You are THE BEST! thank you!

[@m5mtbchannel708]

Very cool video bro! I'm gonna setup my home NAS and give my old desktop a new life :) Thank you very much!

[@o_o6869]

one of the best guide on internet for nas lovers

[@danl2073]

This was a very good tutorial. I would suggest that you let people know how to select things in the original menu. People may not know you use the space bar to select. I will make a NAS now and use this video and recommend it anytime. Thanks again.

[@ace.hypnotika]

Just finished following along without only one slight hiccup -had to use BIOS instead of UEFI on my old Dell Optiplex 755. I hope you'll continue to make more tutorials with TrueNas as I'm hoping to set up mine as a replacement for G Photos. Maraming salamat!

[@jpurs007]

Best NAS tutorial i have watched. Thanks.

[@ClevergunsYT]

yow! that's nice

[@GeikoTreyarch]

Awesome job!! How much energy average it uses a month?

[@Terryr719]

Thank you for your time, great video. Just what I was looking for.

[@GTECBC]

Thank you, this is the best video easy to follow! My setup are an Dell Tower i5 6th Gen/8Ram/New 120gb SSD/ 2 2tb NAS Ironwolf HDD

[@yourmumisacrumpet4882]

thank you so mutch ive been planning to bould a nas for a long time and it works thank you

[@derkhedemann5606]

Truenas works perfectly, I turned my old pc into a network server with a 1 TB boot disk and 4 x 4 TB storage disk this one works perfectly for my home studio projects

[@pennystreet]

What sort of transfer speeds are you getting between your nas and your pc? 😁

[@mrmotofy]

@@pennystreet Only gonna max at 1Gb or about 120MB due to network limits. Upgrading to 10Gb will allow faster speeds and more conformity between devices. Don't waste time and money with 2.5Gb and 5Gb. The average HDD these days can hit 185-210MB. SSD's are obviously faster. I have 4 8TB in Raid6 with 2disk failure giving me about 14TB usable and usually around 350MB transfer speeds...start adding more disks and I can get even faster.

[@koffidokpo]

Very nice video. Keep it on. Thanks, Sir, for sharing your knowledge.

[@blight26gaming70]

Thank you bro! I finally setup my TrueNAS on an old Intel NUC.

[@colindeveau3753]

Really appreciate the video. Easy to follow.

[@danieldougan269]

The real problem with this is the lack of redundancy. At a minimum, you want two hard drives in a NAS. More would be ideal. Hard drives fail, and you don't want to lose your important data because you didn't have redundancy or a backup. I think four is the sweet spot, but you can get by with two. But, then, on top of that, you should be backing up your files away from the NAS. If you have a hardware failure (this is a 10-year-old PC, after all), you could lose everything no matter how many drives are in your array. Use the 3:2:1 backup scheme to protect yourself. Even if your backup system just consists of plugging a USB hard drive into the machine and running a nightly backup to that, you need to do it. Ideally, you would keep a backup off site. So, if you have two USB hard drives, you can swap them out occasionally and keep one of them somewhere else. I keep one of my USB hard drives from home in my desk at the office, and then swap it out for the other one occasionally. Many routers can be used for simple NAS duties, so that could be a good way to handle backups from your NAS.

[@FedericoAllegretti]

true Nas supports raid-z3 so protect against 3 disk failures and also against silent single file errors

[@talinross]

Amazing videos got my subscription!

[@mr.g354]

This video helped me greatIy. Got it all working and mapped the drive successfully. Unforunately i could not get it to find a single plugin and was not able to get plex at all.

[@sarveshbiyani8216]

Learnt something new today Thanks

[@seaslugsforlife7417]

2007-2008 PC's are amazing for it, because motherboard would often have 8 (EIGHT!!!) sata ports (for all these cd/dvd drives that were popular at the time).

[@DaRealGust0]

Great video, thank you for the information 🙏

[@hentosama]

Very good explanation and show, thanks!

[@dawidtrojanowski]

Fantastic tutorial 😍 thank you 😊

[@kankh8555]

Amazing Tutorial, Thank You.

[@ManjulaD]

This helped me alot.thanks ❤️

[@FanMusicIndian]

Great video with step by step instructions. For home use, do I have to assign a static IP or Wired LAN connection will suffice?

[@ernestlane]

Very good work!

[@unwired3]

Great video. Thanks!

[@davechristoffersen6633]

Very good video well done

[@xiLike2Doitx]

Great video, loved it and followed every step successfully! Just couple notes: Please show how to reach that server through mac and linux too To this day I've solved it on my mac, but not yet on my linux machine

[@robertotarragojr.7400]

thankyou for a wonderful tutorial master Tpro, can i request for part 2 adding user and how to manage like who can read and write only, the one who can edit. advance thankyou master TPRO

[@ChargeCannons]

Hello I was wondering if it's possible to connect to custom Naz builds together on the same server, or will they just show up as two separate?

[@blinddog1212]

Awesome video! Haven't seen many that use one drive in the pool. Would it be fairly straightforward to add more devices later or would I need to do a new storage pool at that point?

[@pcenthusiast9211]

Great tutorial

[@comcousa6965]

Hye thanks for such a great video. Learnt a lot first time user of NAS. However how to add more storage will it detect addition automatically?

[@naztablets8497]

Excellent exercise on Home Cloud

[@madhugiri65]

Fantastic. Do speak about NFS and SMB shares in detail in the coming videos. Would be really helpful.

[@arieldurano3247]

sir, i did it,but my question is, how you gonna speed up the read and write or copying of data? mine was 15mbps tops. and once i did, i'm surprise that the files in the slave disk for reading writing data were erased and once i put the hdd in ordinary pc, the pc did not recognized it anymore.

[@Methavn]

How fast copy speed is it. Is it only like 5mb/s? I thought it was like 130mb/s for an HDD

[@adminaccount4197]

can you make a tutorial video how nas drive is being used. and what is the file type when it was been saved or what will happen if the hardware in nas drive fail.

[@dgza703]

Top man!

[@TheCreaperHead]

I got all the way to adding it to my main PC. It says error, cant find server. I need help

[@lse123polis]

If my old PC for TrueNAS, is unable to boot from usb, can use its hdd for trueNAS os boot and USB external storage as NAS Storage?

[@almontahaashraf7443]

Torogi! im following ur windows 10 bypass password tutorial and it keeps taking me back to the blue windows setup screen instead of the login screen. what do i do??

[@justatiger6268]

This video is pure *awesome* Thank you kind Sir!

[@jeighzone]

Hi Torogi Pro, Your step by step video tutorial was awesome. But i have one question sir. Everytime i created a user account, there is an automatic creation of folder named to the user i created. I just want to ask, How can i delete that folder? Thank you...

[@jeffmatthews9125]

Thanks!

[@MrZulkar983]

hi sir...how to do for same folder share to everyone just for read only?

[@mikelunsford2587]

Tried flashing my USB stick and my options are non boot, and two other types of boot. I'm not sure which, but tried both and neither auto boot. There are numerous types of boot listed for different os. So I didn't pick for os. I've set bios to boot on USB devices, I've also tried manual booting to USB and apparently I'm not getting a bootable flash drive setup. I'm using a 8gb USB flash drive. Oh, but I also tried my 16gb flash drive as well and get same results..

[@wulfreiks7239]

Hi Im planning on doing something like this since I am having storage issue and have lost trust on cloud storages recently (Google Drive 👎⛔), can this also be accessed on the internet like a personal cloud?

[@reykorn2010able]

how about accessing the files (via smb) to android phone browser?

[@glokill700]

In this build after everything is done and set up how can I add more drives without it erasing everything on the first drive?

[@oztechsolutions]

Although it's cheap to use one of these Dell Optiplexes SFF it's very limited to drive space. I think it's much better to go the optiplex tower where you can add more HDD and a PCI Sata card to have a NAS with software raid capability. For a tutorial, yes! saludo ako sa quality ng video at very concise.

[@technoarunav]

While considering the speed and frequency of transfer rate, does it matter if we use a high performance SSD drive int the NAS device or can an old HDD work in the same way as it is showing up on your video...? Also, can I set up nas on a raspberry pi board if possible? Please do share your views on this...

[@InSaiyan-Shinobi]

Would you say if I got 3 14tb drives should I just get 1 more for raidz1?

[@westraiser8702]

Thank you Torogi Pro

[@natarajvelan4252]

How to access files remotely like outside network.???? Please guide me. Thanks

[@nestoralloso5813]

[@nickt5390]

Is it possible to connect to this NAS if you are in the separate lan ?

[@angelosorrentino4393]

can this process be done on a raspberry pi4 with an sd card?

[@kalon8358]

Can I install TrueNAS on a second disk, next to a windows 7 ?

[@Zeboyita]

A soon I disable DHCP, Truenas won't be able to connect to the internet, how do I fix it?

[@HKMacMan]

after you build it and set it up and need more memory, how do I add more?

[@CarlosMunozlapiceron]

I am sorry, I feel slow but, I got really lost after the reading of specs, you aren't using RUFUS anymore. Any particular reason for the change?

[@harshulchandrasekhar452]

After my installation is done I reboot it but I keep getting "Cant access web interface". It isn't giving me the IP address to access the server. Any help would be much appreciated.

[@xxxjeffxxx]

Ayos!

[@numbguy]

Can we access files trough internet or it just work with local network?

[@omarjackson1129]

would be nice to see how to add more drives for storage and redundancy.

[@jscott00981]

[@rihaveinaiba8269]

Hi, im total technical noob but i would like to ask: can you acces that server from anywhere? like from your phone or friends house pc by typing that ip? and can you install apps like pi-hole or jellyfin? or is this different type of system and this is just another storage drive but on network?
