0 Mawson Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Hmm... That particular NAS seems to be designed/intended to only work with Netgear's OS. I'm sure it's possible with some serious hackery and wizardry, but after looking at the unit and the manual I don't think it would be an easy process. I also found a post on IX systems TrueNAS forum where a user was asking about installing TrueNAS on a similar Netgear unit, and the consensus was that it was not a good/easy idea, due to the unit being designed for their proprietary OS all the way down to the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System. What a PC, or NAS, boots from) https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/questions-install-possible-on-readynas-rn31400.46612/ 1 Quote
0 Dylan Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Thus I will be running by 10yo 2bay RN212 until WHEELS FALL OFF that little so-and-so. Damn thing refuses to die. Quote
