Thanks Alexander, Ted, and Rusty!!

I took a quick look at TrueNAS and it appears the boot drive is only for booting?

I've got lots of 1TB and less drives so that would not be a problem.

I have a 10 year old Dell i5 4 cores/4 threads with 16GB of RAM, which will take two drives. I also have an 8GB backup drive that I have never used. I haven't opened the box. I got it on a very good sale so I bought it. I could use that drive. I seem to recall that at some point the bigger drivers would not work well with old hardware. I hope that is not an issue.

My daily driver is also an old Dell running Kubuntu 24.04. I have a Win10 laptop and my wife has a Win11 computer. I'd like to connect all three.

Any thoughts are much appreciate!!

Thanks,
Keith

I'm not sure there is a benefit of using Linux with SMB and/or NFS other than having more exposure to Ubuntu.

I'd say performance will be better with Linux (or other unix-like OS) than almost any other OS you can come up with.  Usually, anyway.
