I'm toying with running my website and own email off the NAS also, because why not? It costs me $90 a year to host elsewhere (but maybe my electricity bill would go up)?.I’m toying with the idea of having a simple surveillance camera setup to record a couple of weeks of video at a time from 2-3 cameras.Very light usage! No idea how much I’d need for that. However, I get most of my content from online services, and don’t have a movie collection, so it would be just for the odd TV show recording here and there. I don’t yet do plex or anything, but the ability to do such things is intriguing to me.I would need maybe 4TB storage to cover that. There’s a growing collection of computers in my house, so I’d like to have an easy method of backing those up by giving access to a NAS over wireless.Not sure if there are plugins that allow this? I'd like a really easy way of sucking the images from my camera off my SD card, onto the NAS, rename them and copy up to flickr.At some point I want to ‘upgrade’ to a new Atom based Mac Mini. Ideally here I need decent speed, and for the next 5 years I’m figuring I need approx 6TB storage to cover that use case. For storing my large photo (and a very small number of videos) collection as the primary disk storage, and having fault tolerance / bit rot protection for that.So if I want to run Windows, or Linux instead, I can just do that. I'd also like a flexible solution that doesn't care which operating system I run. I’d like to stop worrying, and get something that will just manage my data. With all of the above, I am getting fed up worrying about support between OpenZFS and Apple OSX. During the process of resilvering, the process stalled and both drives ended up erroring and now won’t mount. Last week one of my drives (two 1.5TB disks, mirrored in a single zpool) threw a bunch of errors.When I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan in 2017, I had some permissions issues.Issues I've had so far with OpenZFS on OSX: I have been mostly successful, but have suffered a couple of hiccups, which is making me think I should be considering a self contained NAS instead to avoid such problems again. So try it: Power-down for at least 2 hours.Hello, I'm not a TrueNAS/FreeNAS user yet, but I having been running an OpenZFS zpool on my Mac for the last 6 years. The Mac Mini's drive-sleep problem probably also went away when it was powered down recently for lack of use. The one thing I hadn't tried was shutting down the Mac PRO for an extended period (probably the same extended period of simple sleep that caused the ejection). At 6AM I woke the computer and the drives were once again working perfectly (and not getting improperly ejected). ![]() Last night there was a car accident (somewhere) at 2:45AM and for 2-1/2 hours we had a power outage in the entire area. I had the same drive-not-sleeping problem with my Mac Mini for a while, and that inexplicably went away recently. LaCie: No help, although they offered to send new Thunderbolt cables. I tried everything: zapping PRAM, resetting SMC, rebooting, repairing permissions.Nothing worked. PLUS, eventually, the 12's would no longer sleep with the computer and then get ejected when the Mac slept for an extended period of time and when the Mac woke up, it produced the dreaded, "DISK NOT EJECTED PROPERLY" message for BOTH 12's. As a result, finder prefs (minimally) got corrupted and I couldn't even dup or delete a file or folder. Then, Final Cut Pro with a certain plug-in occasionally caused my system to crash and reboot automatically. The 12TB drives were behaving perfectly when brand new (about 3 weeks old now). RE: New Mac Pro (late 2013) with LaCie externals: 2x3TB, 1x1TB (USB3), and 2x12TB LaCie 2BIG (each RAID 0 on Thunderbolt 2).
