TrueNAS Server
Main NAS system for storage, media serving, and data redundancy.
Mirrored boot drives, pools configured as striped mirrors. From past experience of a single drive failing from pool 1, the rebuilding took slightly less than a day when I added a new drive to replace the dead one. NAS was still operational with one drive down, although I reduced my write and retrieval activities until the replacement drive arrived.
Access through VLAN 30 (dedicated NAS subnet for future storage expansion) and VLAN 40 (for network management)
