@suman asked to start something like this to get an idea where other NAS vendors are doing better than rockstor, from a users perspective.
In my opinion this makes sense, everybody has a reason being here, this is good to know, but what are the reasons why you sometime search for alternatives or think about getting back to your previous NAS system?This happend for my a few days ago being annoyed about the lack of "plugins", rock-ons or docker images available on the system. BTsync is still outdated, rock-ons sometimes are not working as expected or I want to use a docker image but do not find an easy way install it on rockstor.
I used unRaid before. What do I miss on rockstor compared to my previous systems:
- SMART monitoring, or easy HDD monitoring. for me it still seems like I do not know if a disk is starting to fail which makes me a little nervous
- Proper disk spin downs and getting this reported
- Docker/Plugin integration, Unraid has a huge amount of plugins and allows to run docker images easily
- Easy integration of external harddisks, to copy data from and to it (ex. NTFS disks)
- Automatic sharing of USB drives plugged it
Jump on the train and report what you are missing from your old NAS solution.
