1 Introduction

The TrueNAS Mini Storage Appliance supports all the features of TrueNAS in various convenient form factors. The

Mini E+ has four hot-swappable 3.5” drive bays. The Mini X and X+ have five hot-swappable 3.5” drive bays and two

2.5” drive bays. The Mini XL+ has eight hot-swappable 3.5” drive bays and a single 2.5” drive bay.

TrueNAS Mini products share similar chassis and front panels but have different system components that can

change available connection types and locations. Each Mini product has images that show where indicators and

connectors are on that product.

From left to right are the TrueNAS Mini E+, the TrueNAS Mini X/X+ and the TrueNAS Mini XL+ :

The drive bay door can be locked for added security. To lock the door, insert one of the door keys in the lock and

turn the key clockwise ninety degrees.
