I am a simple, home user. I am not NASty fanatic obsessed with high-end technology, but neither the one that occasionaly copy data on external hard disk to make a backup. For that reason, I made a simple, yet effective system to store and share data, just for my wife and me. In any case, by using TrueNAS, this solution is way more safe than majority of users that use nothing.
