 ## Introduction
 
+In my homelab, I need somewhere I can put datas, outside of my Proxmox VE cluster.
+
+At the beginning, my only one physical server has 2 HDDs disks of 2 TB. When I installed Proxmox on it, these disks were still attached to the host. I managed to share the content using a NFS server in a LXC, but this was far from a good practice.

+During this winter, the node started to fail, it was stopping by itself for no reason. This bad boy is 7 years old. When it was shut down, the NFS share were unavailable, which was affecting some services in my homelab. Luckily I could fix it up by replacing its CPU fan, but now I want a safer place for these datas.

+I this article I will walk you through the entire build of my NAS, using TrueNAS.

 ## Choose the the right platform
 
+
+For a while I wanted to have a NAS. Not one ready out-of-the-box like Synology or QNAP. While I think these are good products, I wanted to build mine. But I have a huge constraint of space in my tiny rack and the choice for a small NAS case are very limited.
+
+Then I consider full flash NAS. This has several advantages:
+- It is fast
+- It is small
+- It consumes less
+- It heats less
+But with a major drawback, the price.
+
+While the speed is negligible to me because my network can't handle it, the others are exactly what I'm looking for. I don't need a massive volume a data,
