Your NAS is becoming a single point of failure, and consolidating everything onto it is the reason why
Using a NAS for all your home lab needs can lead to significant risks. While NAS devices like TrueNAS offer powerful features for self-hosting, consolidating everything onto one device creates a single point of failure. It's important to consider diversifying your setup to mitigate potential issues.
- ▪Running a NAS can be a great way to self-host content and take control of your data.
- ▪TrueNAS is a powerful NAS operating system that can handle multiple services and virtualized instances.
- ▪Consolidating all services onto a single NAS device increases the risk of failure.
