Storj Reviews

I would highly recommend them, and their TrueNAS Scale integration is excellent. Can't wait to see what else they'll add

* Consistent speeds for backing up / restoration. The speeds didn't just drop off a cliff after a few gigabytes
* 25GB free restoration per month. Let's me test out if files actually backed up like they were supposed to

Honestly, I'm sure I'll run into something, but it's been pretty great so far.

I have done this deployment about four times now and now I add IX with in the build process vs. doing native deployment.

This works well with use of IX and adds more function to disk crypt processing. I have done this as native and then with IX (free version) and I found that IX can make it easier plus disk pooling really does break out the I/O work loads.

Still needs so more design work to bring things better together but it works No other cons so far.

Good product go ahead and try risk free. After losing data in the past I decided to build my own back up server and this product enables backup of the backup, perfect. it's a win win!

Easy way to try for free and back up to your data, can upgrade if you need and pay for only what you use.

None that I can see yet, I am completely new to NAS and backup solutions.

Easy to use GUI, plans are cheap and suitable for multiple businesses. The free plan offers 25GB free. Download speed good

No server in South East Asia. No easy integration to TrueNAS scale.

It's a great service with good price and good security for they data, the free version is a little limited and could offer more.

They have a good price, it's always available and their service has a good security system to protect tour data.

Very limited im the free version, It could have more space.

Overall it's very great product which you can use as daily and for the long run. A lot of possibilities as well.

UX/UI,
Flexibility,
Reliability,
Encryption,
Controls,
Easy to manage,
Snapshots,
and many other functionalities.

UX/UI just a little bit.

I love Storj. I'm thinking of signing up soon since my NAS currently has 2TB and the free version only has 25GB, but don't get me wrong, thats the most I've ever seen for free on a storage provider.

Ever since TrueNAS has introduced me to Storj, it's worked amazingly and there is 0 data loss. I also love the amount of storage you get for free, 25GB!

I couldn't find any cons so far, maybe the key system? I guess you guys could specify that the middle one is what you need for TrueNAS.

Superb. Excellent quality and easiness of procedures. I think I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues.

Ease of use.
Easy to purchase.
Useful product.
And many more.

So far, I think the integration with TrueNAS Scale is appreciated, and it's a great opportunity for an offsite backup of one's most important files.

This product's integration with IX's TrueNAS Scale has been (so far) a beneficial part of my 3-2-1 backup strategy.

The IX-Storj plan is hidden if you do not select it the first time through. If it's a user's first time using Storj, give them some time to try it out and another chance at the opportunity.

I have been using relatively recently but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I love the emphasis on security as many platforms seem to gloss over that for convenience.

Super simple but powerful UI, decent pricing, works it TrueNAS. It was a breeze to setup which makes it a plus when I get my family to try it!

At first it looked like it was a storage repository for GitHub or something similar. The marketing was a tad confusing for me at first but that might just be me being slow.

I like the E2E of the CLI and the integration with TrueNAS. I have yet to utilize all of the features but plan to give it a go and see how it all turns out.

None yet, I need more time to know what some of the cons might be.

Simple and easy to configure and use when configured as a FreeNAS/TrueNAS backup destination and proved reliable so far.

Much cheaper than AWS.
Integrates will with FreeNAS.
Only web interface simple to use.
Seems reliable so far.

Would like the possibility of even cheaper storage tiers.

Very high potential. They might actually change the future of cloud storage. By making it cheaper they enable use cases that before were not convenient.

Cheap and secure. They have the potential of revolutionizing cloud storage for which I'm all in for.

Not much literature about them as opposed to their legacy counterparts.

I hosted a node for about 2 years and the software worked well. Sadly the reward for hosting comes slow and is rather small. I contributed 2Tb Storage to Storj (which for an individual is not small) and received about 80€ after conversion from those 2 years. Given the setup time, wear on the drive and price of electricity, hosting a Storj node is not profitable / worth it at the moment.

I didn't try the paid file storage DCS.

The setup is rather easy. The online dashboard is easy to use and well designed. The hosting software works reliable.

The payouts for node operators (When you give your HHD-Space to Storj) were to small to make a profit, especially after conversion-fees and swaying conversion rates from crypto.

I hope they keep the community in mind and that the community also helps out, while they also focus on Enterprise customers of course. If so, this will be a very good open source/commercial storage/app solution. Hybrid cloud is a bit far fetched for now, although technically maybe even possible :). Good luck.

- The zfs filesystem with a webui in front of it is the best storage solution I found. I always found it a shame that Reiserfs and btrfs developed so slowly. Zfs has all the necessary features builtin like checksumming, ssd acceleration within a pool, snapshotting.
- I particularly like the fact you can easily go back a truenas version by booting a previous zfs boot/root-snapshot. An update had an issue, so reverting to the previous truenas version, which was compatible with the rest was as easy as selecting the previous boot-version of zfs and restarting truenas.
- I also like the Kubernetes-integration, although a lot of work is still ahead to make it play nice with the complete Kubernetes ecosystem, although that's more the goal of the 3rd party repo, than Truenas itself seemingly. Anyway, it's possible.
- Setting up shares and security for backups and cloud sync is quite easy.
- All settings for TrueNAS can be exported to have a complete backup of the base system settings in case you need to restore the system.

- The apps/Kubernetes setup could be improved
- Some features like the alerting with AWS SMS, email, is a bit hidden away, but once found super useful for alerts and very easy to setup.

It's a great service with good price and good security for they data, very pleasant and easy to setup. TrueNAS also integrates Storj storage and node very good and makes the entry easy.

Until today I have nothing against, even though it's a bit limited in the free version, it could have more space.

Really great service provided by a serious company and it's easy to see how much work it has been put into this.

Great service, I found easy to use and really pleasant experience and very informative also really great and gives nice utils.

I didn't find very optimized overall the experience.

Impressed with the integration of my TrueNAS Storage device. As a retired IT admin turned home user.

I enjoy the accessibility and pricing for my secure off site storage. I use it to back up My TrueNAS device.

Not applicable since it is a entry level source for my backups.

Storj works great for a pretty reasonable price. I have been using the free tier, but I will likely move to a paid tier soon.

I was introduced to Storj through TrueNAS. Storj is super flexible, and I like that I don't have to upgrade my home setup to see improvements.

None so far, I have only used Storj for a few weeks but haven't come across anything yet.

Hopefully they will add more features in upcoming months because some things are still missing.

Really like the ui and pricing options.

Not very suitable for less technical person. But they are not focused on those.
