Basic NAS - is Debian enough? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

I'd already set that to econ/quiet settings, unfortunately I realized I still had stuff running off the main drives - I'd need a second SSD to create another filesystem on, and I'm not prepared to do that just now. Thank you still!

Would you happen to remember where that is in the settings? My research so far indicates it's not really a thing because of ZFS, like someone else also commented...

Basic NAS - is Debian enough? (alien.top)
 

I am setting up a very basic storage-only NAS box for myself and my parents. It will have two mirrored disks, and will be accessed locally by me and via Tailscale by my parents. That is the extent of the requirements and setup I have done so far.

the server is currently running Truenas Scale, and is working just fine, with one exception - the drives are on all the time, and I sleep in the same room. From what I can tell, there is no easy way to get Truenas to spin down drives, and this server will spend most of its time inactive anyway.

Long story short, am I stupid for considering a basic Debian install instead? Frankly, I could probably run Windows and have easy access to Backblaze, too.
