Recently we reviewed TrueNAS CORE 12 on our HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus, where we focused on the performance of both hard drives as well as flash, over SMB and iSCSI shares. An important aspect of this comparison was analyzing the performance hit of stronger compression as well as enabling deduplication with TrueNAS. While performance is an important thing to consider, the hit to performance may or may not matter depending on the use case. In this article, we show you why even a huge hit to performance won't matter for many TureNAS backup target scenarios.
