You don't need a lot of RAM to run TruNAS. 16gb should be sufficient unless you are planning lots of VMs.

I spent $2550 on a TrueNAS setup with 3x22TB drives, so 40 TB usable after setting up ZFS. The case can hold 8 drives so I could go up to 120TB usable for an additional $2000 at $400/drive. Building big storage servers is actually much cheaper than you think nowadays.

I think I agree that this was 100% bad AI generated.
The 100TB Build (~$2,500) is full of errors. The math doesn't add up as presented, the HDD prices are for used drives, and it confuses RAIDZ1 and mirroring together as "five drives as two mirrored pairs + spare = ~80TB usable."
